Hi all sorry I haven't been around recently but my prostate cancer is now in the majority of my body.
I was in hospital for one week recently as I had a stranglated small bowel they did a CT scan straight away which not only showed the blockage but also the progression of my cancer.
This time last I was told by the consultant that I might not be going back home any time
I was also told that my heart was very week and I am now "Do Not Recuccatate"
This really freaked us all out "Lots of Tears"
Yes I worked through all of these and I am back home now "thank Goodness"
My next session of chemo this week has been postponed until March giving me time to recover.

Hi prostate warrior.
I am totally humbled by the inner strength you are showing in sharing your story, I fell apart and needed so much support that on reflection, post prostatectomy and awaiting outcomes of biopsy and PSA level, my major issue was not the cancer but my ability to put things in perspective. Something you have done so well.
Continue your fight and with luck and a good team behind you, oth professionals and friends and family you beat this.
