loppylugs 8,429 Posted November 29, 2016 Report Share Posted November 29, 2016 True, Col, but I don't care. I'll be doing them a favor if I just croak. They do not have to pay my funeral expenses. In the meantime they won't have been pushing camera's up my wazoo! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jill Sparrow 10,335 Posted November 29, 2016 Report Share Posted November 29, 2016 I haven't seen my doctor either...and don't intend to! On the other hand, I've been to the vet 3 times this year! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
carni 10,094 Posted November 30, 2016 Report Share Posted November 30, 2016 Well mi dears/ducks, I'm sitting here on mi sofa all of a dither experiencing that feeling of lost a bob and found a tanner! I had a couple of episodes of lost vision in my right eye last week, i was concerned but because I felt OK, I just let it pass, anyway a visit to the docs this morn, hoping for a "Oh nothing to worry about result), not to be! Four hours up the hospital having various tests have shown what I half expected. I have had two TIA (Mini strokes). The good news is I have two points,which means lowish chance of another full blown stroke. Don't feel very convinced, but will receive a letter from TIA team within 7days to go see them. Well I think I deserve some Cadburys or summat nice,see if it can make me smile. Don't hold yer breath.Lol. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Chulla 4,946 Posted December 1, 2016 Report Share Posted December 1, 2016 My last report (page 31, post 770) had my PSA number down to 10.7. It had shot up to 61 before the horse pills (Enzalutamide) arrested its upward trend. Today I went for a routine visit to oncology at the City and saw the boss man, Dr Sundar. As it was my first appointment with him and not his registrar I thought he might have some not-so-nice news for me. I needn't have worried - PSA number now down to 7.9, a drop of three points in eight weeks. I asked him if he thought that another bone scan would be in order, seeing that the last one had shown the cancer spreading to four areas of bones. 'No need' he said. Because the PSA number is going down it shows that there has been no more spreading. The PSA number is a representative reading of the whole body, not just the prostate. 'Carry on and will see you in 12 weeks'. So, two dollops of good news and I left with a carrier bag full of horse pills. 11 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
