Well you wake up with a call! Cancer then an urgent bone scan! My day is not great
Hi
Giving you the news via a phone call adds to the trauma of the results. I was given my news fac to face and I don't recall anything after the c word. I left in a complete daze. So much worse to have been told via a phone call.
Let us know how things go.
Regards
Stuart
I was told over the phone and they couldn't even use Covid as an excuse back then. Hope all goes well with the bone scan. What is your PSA at the moment? Let us know how things get on.
Hi
Sorry about your news but A phone call ! That is a bit naughty, I know covid and all that, but this is something that needs to be done face to face, the only good thing is their getting on with scans, hopefully some type of treatment to start, like hormone therapy.
stay safe

Hi Joe! Well waiting to go in scanner and this will be the next part of the jigsaw. Incredible how things in your life can change so dramatically in 48 hours
Well just out of scanner and now a seven day wait for the multi disciplined team to tell me how things are! They say it stage 2 cancer but try and relax! What a ridiculous thing to say when you have to wait seven days when a digital image is immediately available! Sorry I’m ranting
Question! Do you think I should share this with my wife or wait until I know all the facts next Thursday
I totally understand your reluctance but I would go for sharing everything.
I will never ever forget my wife sobbing, but we hugged and have shared everything since that ghastly day.
I wish you and your wife the very, very best.
Thank you! Yes I guess for men we want to protect our wives but the last 48 hours nothing but bad news has come.
Hi Stromness
Couldn't agree more.
Regards
Stuart
Hi
Yes you should never hide anything like this, there will be tears for sure, better now than later.
stay safe
Joe
