New to the site

Hi bronya, welcome to the site we don't want to be on, if you want to say anything do so,if you want to ask anything do so, we are all in the same place, we are all there for each other.

I'm surprised that your doesn't know everything, my wife is very supportive she comes to All the meetings, two heads are better than one.

But if you want to go into details please do the more info you supply the better the response, you can follow our paths by tapping the icon next to our names and read our profiles.

All the best Ulls 

Hi Bronya

Hello, you can say anything on here, as long as there’s no bad language, we’re here to give as much help and advice as we can, have you been told of any results or forthcoming tests ? By the way we all sound like broken records, it’s how we express how we feel or how to talk to others.

Stay safe

Joe

Bronya,

Totally agree with Joe and Ulls,

You can ask anything here, someone will be able to identify with it.

In time you will be able to talk about it to anyone, I know it took me ages last year, as I used to keep everything bottled up inside.  It does feel great to be able to talk with others, all having the same thing in common.

Last year my partner got me to start a 'Thought Diary'.  Didn't know what I would write about, now I am over 1/2 way through my 6tg diary.  Nothing is barred, when I need to vent l do.

Now everyday I look back at the corresponding day last year to see how I was.  Sometimes I laugh, sometimes I cry.  As a coping mechanism I really think it helped me cope.

Then if you want anyone to read it to see exactly what you are going through, you can.  Not that anyone else would understand.

This forum has also helped me immensely.

As Joe said, "We all sound like broken records".

I bet your wife would be relieved, not freaked out!!  It's so hard keeping it inside all of the time.

Best of luck.

Just wait until you are waffling on and on and on... like me.

Show your wife this forum, l bet she'd be interested.

I meant to say 6th diary.  This predictive text .... But you know what I mean.

Yes I know what you mean, using predictive text makes us displexic 

I've thought of a way around it, type wrong spellings deliberately!!

Don't know how I didn't thunk of it befere.

I thought it was Agnostic.

Ha ha

.    Nice one Steve

Hi Bronya,

Totally agree with the comments so far. Not been here long myself but just updating my profile helped me to just get stuff off my chest. 

My wife is fully supportive and would be hacked off if I didn't tell her everything that goes on with prostate cancer! She comes to every oncology appointment and as I don't drive (dut to the meds I'm on) she drives me to appointments and other things like scans. She is fully involved in everything which makes things easier. I'm like a broken record but she is used to that. She was freaked out to begin with but keeping updated by attending appointments and hearing my stuff and so on she just takes it as it comes and accepts the facts. We can't change things so no point getting wound up about them.

Replies from what I have posted are always positive and helpful, I think it's a healthy place to be able to just rant things off as someone will listen and support through a reply and help you to not bottle things up. Maybe let your wife know about this forum. 

Anyway best of luck with your treatment and I hope you enjoy being part of this forum.
