Thursday can not come quick enough, after what seems an eternity of appointments, procedures, RT and issues, I am clear to travel.

My Oncologist has been wonderful, fitting my next appointment into my schedule and ensuring that I have sufficient supplies of tablets.

For those of you that are just commencing this journey, when all appears so confusing, anxious and terrifying, I assure there is light at the end of the tunnel. 

Am I fixed? I have no idea, nor do the specialists know until we stop the medication in 16 months time! Am I in a better place than I was in January of 2025? Without doubt, gosh some of it has been extremely difficult and I still suffer sweats, tiredness and the odd bowl/bladder issue, but heck, if that is it! Bring it on.

I have been blessed/fortunate to have received treatment at The Freeman Cancer Specialist Unit and to receive the post code lottery for Abiraterone.

So my pouch is packed with my medication and I am off to escape this cold blustery weather.

Stay as positive as you can when things seem dark and grasp what you can when it comes along.
