Good morning to all
Today is the first anniversary of receiving the dreadful phone call from my GP to say that with a PSA of 953 I most likely had prostate cancer…
It has been a rollercoaster of a year, tests, biopsy, hormone therapy and chemotherapy. ( plus discovery of a hiatus hernia, anticipated surgery for an initial hernia, but mercifully my kidney stone has not played up!!)
I just wanted to say a huge thank you to this group and to those on other groups who have provided sage advice, comfort, counselling and lots of humour.
I am treatable but not curable but I intend to be around for a lot longer, so will continue to enjoy the exchanges on this forum.
My many thanks go to my family and to the medical staff at all levels who have supported me through the last 12 months.
Best wishes to all
KrisPy
