Hi,
I was diagnosed with Prostate Cancer T2 Gleason 7 (3+4), Intermediate Risk last May.
I have had 12 months of Hormones and 20 fractions of VMAT Radiation. The Radiation finished on 2nd November. My 3-yearly Colonoscopy & biopsies,was due in November. Because of the Radiation treatment I wasn't able to have the procedure done.
In February I was told that I was in Biochemical Remission and was able to have the procedure done.
But.... and there's always a But, the queue has grown. I now have an appointment on 22nd August for the Colonoscopy.
My family history with Colon Cancer isn't very good. On my father's side over the past 3 generations there have been at least 8 Cancer deaths, mostly the men. At least 4 Colon Cancer deaths.
This is where the anxiousness is coming from. If I do get it, I can deal with that, it's the "not knowing". That's what got me last year with the Prostate Cancer. Once I had accepted it, I was a lot better.
I'm only a young 58. I have my partner, she was great last year, and still is.
My sense of humour kept me sane(ish). This forum is great. Hope I don't have to change forums!
And yes I do waffle on and on and on.
