Hi Iain
I'm sorry to read that you've had to have more treatment after it was discovered that your prostate cancer had returned last year. I can fully understand how worried you might be as your father sadly passed away from the same cancer only a couple of years ago. However, treatments are advancing all the time and your cancer may be under control for a lot longer yet!
I'll be keeping everything crossed for good results for you on the 18th
