Hi all, Just waiting

Good luck welcome to the club.I was diagnosed Feb this year and just had a TURPS operation 3days in hospital.I start my radiotherapy end September 30days as they think it's possibly in my lymph nodes cheers Bob 

From one Grumpyoldman to another- I’m almost 1/2 way through my 20 weeks, all generally fine. Some tiredness, and erratic bowels but otherwise ok. Hang on in there. 

Hi, welcome to the club, I too was Gleason 9. I had 20 sessions of radiotherapy in February/March and am on hormone therapy for another 18 months.

Good luck on your journey

Hello Grumpy!

Welcome to the Gleason 9 club - hope all goes well for you during your RT.

As Peter above (outdoor walker) has said, you can follow my HT/RT journey by clicking on the icon of the beach.

Feel free to ask any questions you may have.

Kind Regards

Hi Bob

Interesting that - I am pleased you have been sorted and making progress.

My TURP was at North Manchester General - in Friday 7.00am out Saturday lunch 1.30pm just the one overnight. I was told they do have a cross match for blood as you can lose quite a bit, I do remember the cleaning out after the operation involving a silver bucket - but all is well!

Again they thought the PC could be in my lymph nodes, and decided to "zap" them too but I only got 20 days on the sunbed!! 

Hope the RT goes well. any questions feel free to ask.

Kind Regards

Brian.

Hi millibob yes they had a few problems with my blood pressure plummeting which they say is quite common post op .As to why I'm doing 30days is another question.It seems a bit like overkill.Nevermind as long as I see the light at the end of the tunnel cheers
