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!

  • Hi - see general discussion tab -  put a recipe on there .  Hope it suits !    AW

  • Good morning 

    this is the one I use but alter by adding other ingredients . 

    always use condensed milk and biscoff spread or something with the same consistency.

    i made a cranberry & caramac  and a biscoff one for the maggie centre as we were in yesterday as OH had his radiotherapy and it went down a treat . Just use your imagination for your grandson’s fudge. Hope he enjoys

  • Hello

     My hubby not on the forum or any forum,

    It is just me who chats.

    Hubby may have Parkinsons too  waiting  very long time for neuro appointment,

    My hubby  very bad diet I tell him he is eating too much junk.

    He does not do lot of walking he can not walk much

  • Hi  ,

    sounds like your husband is struggling  and turning his hands to junk foods  It is very hard for you both as your watching . Please ask any questions or rant . I find this group a great source of knowledge and just being around . 

    could you not contact your GP  and ask them to push for his neurologist appointment due to the affect it us having on him . 

    would he be happy to speak to someone as I know that Maggie Centre at our local hospital are great and it’s just a safe space to chat .

    huge hugs to you both 

    Liz & OH 

    xx

  • Thank you.

    I have asked  our GP but was told it has to be him. to ask 

    At last chat with Specalist he was told on waiting list.

    He  has asked GP and told same thing.

    When I go with him to the hospital I will ask him to go  to support centre

  • Can you not complain to the hospital about the time he’s having to wait or ask your cancer specialist to try and push it forward due to the distress it’s causing . 

  • thank you

    I will tell hubby to ask but he tends to say I get round to it

  • Oh no I’ve got one the same  

    take care 

    Liz xx

  • Hubby has a plate which reads.

    This is a round tuit. Guard it with your life! Tuits are hard to come by, especially the round ones. It will help you become a much more efficient worker. For years you've heard people say "I'll do that when I get a round tuit." So now that you have one, you can accomplish all those things you put aside until you got a Round Tuit.
