Wow - 2 years after diagnosis ( Diagnosed in January 2024 -G9 - T3a N0) where has the time gone!  Anyway, I wanted to provide a 6 monthly update and say Hi again to the inspirational Champions who helped me so much at the start of my journey - Brian aka Millibob and Alpine Wanderer plus everyone else who  I have had the "pleasure" of interacting with during this roller-coaster ride.

Have been on 3 monthly Prostap injections and now approaching my run in to completion in October Fingers crossedMuscle  Had my 6 monthly telephone review with one of the lovely CNS nurses who have helped me and The Rock (aka The Missus) along the way Heart️  PSA now down to 0.04 ug/l with three more jabs Boxing glove to go - a long way from the 9.75 when first diagnosed.

Looking forward to more holidays in the Canaries and I`m now playing Bowls every week and also learning Spanish!  So I wanted to share some positivity with everyone and give hope to those who maybe starting a similar journey and assure them they are not alone.  We`ve Got This MuscleHeart️

Hasta Pronto - in another 6 months

FOR UPDATES ON MY JOURNEY- just click on My Profile -  Activity tab - hopefully this will help others with similar diagnosis and provide some positivity on their own journey.

  • Wow Geoff ( 

    What a brilliant, positive post - it just shows with an understanding of your diagnosis and treatment plan, a little bit of "help from my friends", Mrs Millibob is also "my Rock",  and a positive attitude as you say:

    "We've Got This"

    Thank you for the update - enjoy the Canaries and see you in 6 months.

    Kind regards - Brian.

  • Hi Geoff S

    What an uplifting post which will undoubtedly give some reassurance to any of the newer members of this clan that life can still be a source of fun after a  PC diagnosis.

    Here's to October when the jabs will finish & all the future holidays yet to be enjoyed.

    Best Wishes

    Brian

  • As a member of the G9 club I want to thank you for this uplifting post. It's great to see G9 folks living a full life during  treatment, and share positivity.

    You're on the home stretch now! (I finish my 3 years in October this year too)

    Thank you

  • Alpine Wanderer checking in here  , and great to hear such positive news.  6 monthly checks, eh?  I bet you hardly think of your PC nowadays.  It’s all looking textbook from here!   AW

  • Hi AW - you’re right and living with side effects like Hot Flushes and fatigue etc has kind of become normalised Wink Hot stuff quite handy given the winter we’ve been through- 1 tog quilt helps Sweat smile Hope all is well with you and yours and you’re still helping peeps avoid the nasties on the mountain sides Rofl
