QUE SARA SARA

Good Morning Worriedwife and Lorraine (BW) 

Thank you both for being there. Yes the support from the entire Community has been fantastic and it makes me even more determined to get my PSA results down to zero!!

The longer I have been on this path (3.5 years) and the more I do the more I understand this cancer. The one thing I really believe in (apart from my team and my positive attitude) is support from others - I have it here, from my family and from all my friends and it's bloody fantastic.

Thank you both - your words are appreciated more than you know.

Good morning apprentice nerd . I know that you were prepared for this hiccup but it still comes as a disappointment for you, Lorraine and the family but also for us who have become part of the extended family. Keep hold of the fact that you are under one of the best cancer hospitals in the WORLD (no. 4) and I am sure that they will keep you on the curative pathway. Just as you are here for everyone else we are here for you on what I am sure is going to be a long and hopefully smooth journey.

All the best Brian 

Good Morning Alwayshope &Mace 

Thank you both for the good wishes - the thing that has got to me most about having a raised PSA isn't the fact it's up - no that was expected - it's the fact I have to wait for a scan - I NEED to book flights for a holiday. As soon as I know what's going on and we have a plan - I hope to be off to the sunshine (although this morning has started bright in Lancashire and Lorraine has invited half the family for a BBQ later!).

Life goes on as normal - thanks ever so much for your support - it's very much appreciated.

Kind Regards - Brian.

Hi Brian ,

sorry to hear about your PSA rise , I must say our journeys are similar except your Gleason being 9 , mine was 7 . Mine you I wasn’t the best patient when having my biopsy hence only 4 cores being taken .

I wish I could have a chat with you as I fine that easier than all this texting

I wish you well moving forward and hope your excellent team find a solution.

all the best

Tony

Hello Tony (Tony 123) 

Thank you for your kind message - I have just caught up with your journey - bloody hell you have been through the mill since I last read it - I hope you are feeling good now the latest treatment has been completed.

If you send me a personal message (I don't need a friend request - my message box is open) I will give you some contact details and we can find a mutual time for a chat.

Kind Regards - Brian.

Morning Brian, I'm sorry to hear your PSA  is rising, even expecting it, it's a tough blow, and getting away is fab, works for me too, I will have everything crossed your new treatment plan is successful for you, as I really don't want to see you on the LWIC forum lol.

No I am trying not to have to join that group!! (for those who don't know we have a group - Living with incurable cancer!)

I am quite happy (if happy is the right word) being a T3a Gleason 9 - I might be sitting on the fence but if I fall off I want to drop on the T3 side.

Your post did make me chuckle though!!

Thanks pal - that's made my morning!!

Kind Regards - Brian.

** Edit ** - I  have just checked - you don't have your own Community Champion on your group - well let's keep it that way - I will stick with this lot thanks!! **

We do have the lovely Chelle "Chellisimo", who's a champion and pops in from time to time, but as she is on many many forums, her time is limited, I have been following this thread when I can, and congratulations on 4 grandkids, aren't they the best medicine,

Dear Millibob 

I’ve only been on the forum for a few months, but I’ve been struck with how kind, wise and committed you are. 
You’re helping so many people hold it together.
You’re deserving of the best outcome for yourself and I send you every good wish x
