Hello, I'm new (again) to Macmillan...I will explain. I'm 83 with 5 kids and 7 grandchildren .5 years ago I was in the colon cancer group. I got that sorted with some major surgery - a hemicolectomy. For the next 5 years I had annual checks and colonoscopies. The result - I was declared all clear.! Then I got cancer on my face with a lump on my nose. That was sorted too. Now I have prostate cancer Gleason 7 (4 + 3), so a new journey begins. Meanwhile my eldest son has melanoma and is undergoing tough immunotherapy and my beautiful wife died of MND in January. (I don't make this stuff up !) I'm 83 and quite active, driving, playing guitar in my band, travelling a bit to France and I hope to visit my eldest daughter in Sydney at Xmas and so on.
I'm still here and very keen to maintain my QoL. I don't yet have a treatment plan from my oncologist but I'm already thinking ahead and doing a bit of internet browsing. I came across some places promoting focal therapy. Anyone know anything about that?
I look forward to "meeting" some of you and if I can help in any way I'm delighted to do so.
