mudgie49 401 Posted August 15, 2014 Report Share Posted August 15, 2014 You will do fine Andy,had a series of treatments over 4 days(intense therapy),everything worked out well. Be positive,and keep your sense of humour. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Michael Booth 7,364 Posted August 15, 2014 Report Share Posted August 15, 2014 Isn't it good that you have the backing from all your friends on Nottstalgia, Andy. Comments from people, like mudgie49, who've had the treatment and know what they're talking about must be very comforting for you. I wish you well. Also, I hope everything goes well for catfan who is seeing his doctor today regarding a PSA test. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mudgie49 401 Posted August 15, 2014 Report Share Posted August 15, 2014 We old farts start to get a higher PSA reading, as we truck along the aging road. But a large spike would be a concern,take it easy and try not to stress,that only adds to the problem. I have been fighting Renal cancer for 10 years,it goes into recession for a couple of years,then back it comes. After 2 surgeries,Chemo',and radiation,I am still this side of the daisies.I kept my sense of humour,and a positive attitude to life.I still work every day and am not confined in anything I do. We are all capable of climbing mountains,just don't look down. PS,The old farts was for the boys not the girls. 6 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Everything went to plan,removing a smallish tumor that was positive for renal(kidney)cancer. I am shuffling around pretty good,not too much pain or discomfort.My taste buds came back into play this morning,dinner tonight!!!!!Chicken Bhuna,mushroom bhajia,garlic naan,finished off with mango kulfi.I'm on a count down till Denice can go pick it up,3 hours 14 minutes to go. Don't mean to bore you guys with my dinner menu,but to all of you that have survived on hospital food will understand. I wish you all a happy and healthy week-end,kindest regards, Bryan 7 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Chulla 4,946 Posted September 27, 2014 Report Share Posted September 27, 2014 Just picked up on this thread since my #276 posting. I found it comforting to hear of other people's experiences, particularly about Lizzie's husband. As I feel no different now health-wise to what I have always felt, my PC condition does not bother me, in fact I hardly ever think about it. Nevertheless it is good to share experiences. If one's psychology has anything to do with how one feels then I will live to be 100! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Chulla 4,946 Posted October 10, 2014 Report Share Posted October 10, 2014 re #311. Been to the docs today for latest update on my prostate cancer. Latest blood check shows PSA number now down to 3.9 from 14 from 197, so hormone treatment seems to be working well. Cholesterol reading within acceptable limits too. 8 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
