Good morning,
I was diagnosed with prostrate cancer 5 years ago and have been through radiotherapy, unsuccessfully sadly, Enzalutamide and chemo, which I have just finished and now nervously await the next stage -
so, hello all and I am quite unused to these forums / discussions so at this stage I am unsure as to what to say
Hi there Socrates and welcome to your new home with friends that are only here to help and support you, where we can.
Your history is what it is and the future is all in your head. It’s your mental state that helps you the most so you may say what you like here I the confidence that we are not only listening, but as you are not known to anyone, feel free to be honest.
Keep asking questions when you need answers and someone will get back to you and help out.
Take care, we are now on your shoulder.
Hi socratesb8e0be and welcome. There is no particular format, so ask anything. If you ask anything about treatment it is useful for us to know your diagnosis and treatment to date. If you just want to chat, that’s ok as well, it’s your choice. Hopefully you will find this a safe area to be.
Best wishes, David
