As some of you know we have very recently had our diagnosis of advanced mestastic PC......
As the days pass we are becoming more accepting of this new normal.....at the end of the day we all have an expiry date and none of us know when that will be regardless of diagnosis. So here is to living each day as if its our last, sit with the negative emotions and celebrate the positives.
We are both nurses in the NHS (mental health).....we advocate for positive mental attitude and the power this has in difficult situations, the power of acceptance and how this can be a game changer when dealing with just life shattering events.
We just want to say a huge thank you to all of you.....your strength and determination is just inspirational, how you can get up each day and provide support and advice to newbies like us, to everyone that needs it is just amazing and through time we hope to be those people too, we really wouldn't be in the same place now if it wasn't for the support here

Hello Polly (Polly1912)
Thank you for your super post - I am pleased we are able to help.
I do what I do because on diagnosis I had a great urology team but the information provided wasn't enough. I was told HT/RT get on with it. Joining this Community opened my eyes to how the treatment works, the side effects and tips for living a normal life with Prostate Cancer and they were a great support to me - so I have stayed and although my personal journey is far from over I am more than happy to help others.
On a personal note Mrs Millibob is a retired nurse (RMN / RGN) and I think I get my positive attitude from her - in fact we had a strong relationship BC (before cancer). AD (after diagnosis) it's been even stronger even though the physical side has gone!!
Enjoy your weekend and thanks again.
Kind regards - Brian.
