Marking a month after surgery with a pub lunch

Hi Amnesiac. I think it is important to highlight the positive stories. I believe that news like this is crucial especially those who are struggling or indeed those awaiting surgery. Steady as she goes is the watchword. I would encourage those who may be reluctant to engage , to do so. The support I have received has been invaluable.  Best of Irish Luck to you all. S 

Hello Amnesiac  Please feel free to post anything - but success stories are more than welcome!!  Yours is a cracking post as it shows that surgery can work and with a positive attitude and a supportive family you can get through this.

It's when I personally read stories like yours that I wish possibly I could have gone down that path but being a wimp - having a "high" initial PSA with a possible spread and an enlarged prostate it was not to be - however

Your post is both helpful and informative to people considering surgery. I will raise my pint glass (only J W Lees's finest best bitter) to you tonight and long may your recovery continue. Keep posting please..

Best wishes - Brian.

Hi Amnesiac,

It's great to hear a positive update following prostate removal as it shows peoples worst fears can just be that - fears.  Your post will help inform decision making as to whether to go down that route or opt for HT / RT instead (the route I chose).

All the best for your continued recovery.

Brian

Hi Amnesiac ,  thanks for your post and don’t worry it certainly doesn’t upset me, quite the contrary.  I wear my ‘man of men’ badge at all times trying to encourage other men to get tested early so that ‘curative’ is in their diagnosis and the more positive posts like yours, as far as I am concerned, the better.  Best wishes, David

Ha! Came back from Turkey last Thursday   But returning for another 3 weeks on 9 May 2024 

Thanks Timmy. Keep us posted re your progress and I’m happy to answer any questions you may have. 

Thank you David. That’s very much appreciated and like you, I wear my badge and have managed to get a couple of friends to get tested.
