Hi everyone,
My name is actually Alison, my husband John being the one who has started on his prostate journey with myself in the sidecar. As he just isn't an internet person I'm hoping I can tempt him to sign up for himself after seeing how much amazing advice he could receive, which I will pass onto him for the time being.
I'm off to post on the diagnosis section to keep things tidy but just wanted to say hello on here, especially to touch base with any partners/wives/friends/family members.
Bye for now!
Good morning Alison & John,
welcome to a very elite group that none of us every wanted or thought we would be in .
Im also a wife to my OH who is currently undergoing radiotherapy.
I honestly don’t know how I would have continued without this great bunch of human beings . We laugh .rant, ask questions and there is always someone there to help .
best wishes to you both & hugs
Liz & OH

Hi Alison , you are very welcome .
when my OH was diagnosed I was climbing the walls as the waiting etc seemed to take forever . But as I said this group of very knowledgeable people are fabulous.
My OH is in tomorrow for his radiotherapy so been making fudge to hand into the Maggie Centre and staff in the cancer centre . It just keeps me busy .
have a decent sleep Alison & John .
best wishes
Liz & OH
