Belated because I unexpectedly started my PC journey nearly a year ago with a PSA test, which was followed very quickly by a phone call from the GP surgery asking me to go in ASAP. The vital statistics were PSA 18, T3a, 4+5. My profile contains further information on this man's PC experience, from that phone call onwards, over the last 11 months.
Nice bio Amplitude. You’ve done well and seems like you’re handling it well.
Welcome to the community and although you seem to be well informed ask away when you have a question, there’s lots of experienced members here ready to help.
I’ve not usually got questions but I was wondering where your “handle” Amplitude came from? I was on an Amplitude Trial just after diagnosis for 15 months and wondered if you had too.
Anyway, I’m sorry you’re here but make the most of this great place to help you get by.
Amplitude is more modulation than trial for me Mr U. I used to work in radio engineering and most of the transmitters I worked on were ‘amplitude modulated’ (AM on old radio dials!). Seemed better than frequency or phase as a handle as I’m also quite tall…!
Yes, this is a great forum, thanks to the MacM team and people like you for sharing somewhat personal experiences. I have read your blog, quite a journey, and will continue to follow you. Hoping your next chemo phase goes really well.
Hi Amplitude - I, too, enjoyed (?) reading your bio : good information delivered in an ironic / interesting/ amusing dialogue. Nice one. Going well, too. AW
