Good Evening,
Some may remember me joining here around 12 months ago. I had my RALP back in April last year and following my recovery my activity on here became scarce as I returned back to normal life.
It's only when the anniversary of my diagnosis and treatment made me aware of how I had selfishly neglected this site. This site gave me the strength to tackle and cope with my prostrate diagnosis and for that I am forever grateful and I realize that there are others at the same stage as I was who need assistance or need to talk.
So I am back to offer my ear and shoulder should anyone need it.
So for my absence I greatly apologize to all who took the time to listen to me and guide me through my period of doubt and recovery.
Clive
Hello Clive (Teulu)
Well, what a great post and welcome back!
It's brilliant when we read a post from someone who has been here, and gone on to have successful treatment. Your post and your journey on your profile will be a great help to others considering surgery and I thank you for your offer to provide help and guidance to anyone considering the surgery option.
Best wishes - Brian.

Hi Clive (Teulu ), good to hear you are doing well. We all know that feeling at diagnosis and early stages, where your world collapses. Stories like yours, confirm our optimism that many PCa patients are now being cured and others are living longer and with quality with it.
Best wishes, David
