Had some good news today, had my telephone call from my Oncologist re my prostate cancer & afetr 5 years I've been officially discharged & the cancer is now officially in remission.

It's been a long journey not helped by the fact that it was right at beginning of Covid that I was diagnosed which meant that any treatment was delayed, this meant I had to have 2 months radio therapy instead of one, & I have suffered some unpleasant side effects from that from time to time that can recur anything up to 20 years after therapy stops still don't suppose I'll be here to worry in 20 years.

Anyway all good at moment. Thank you NHS

Keep blasting!

Thanks everyone for your best wishes. Here's the weird thing about my 6 year journey is I've never seen a doctor face to face since the original diagnosis which was delivered by a Urology nurse over the phone, discussions about treatment over the phone & follow ups by my Oncologist have all ben conducted over the phone I've never actually met her, hasn't made any difference I suppose but it does seem a bit strange

Horrible few days of no sleep and pain…but hearing Tim curry died really upset me today!

I was only listening to rocky horror yesterday….bloody love it. I’m not usually one to get bothered over celeb deaths

Bowie and rik mayall really got to me as they’ve always been in my life.. I still watch young ones and howl laughing and I know it verbatim

Rickman and Robin Williams were sad as well…just feels like the fun part of my life is dying

I took have felt the sad loss of the original and best Pennywise the clown.

His role in that mini series is probably what made me a horror fan as a kid

Recovery is slow and simple things like cooking a roast wiped me out of energy! Anyhoo lots of treatments to go, I’m going to give the forum a miss for the foreseeable…getting fed up of people’s bullshit and it allows me to do anything else

Look after yourselves peeps and keep healthy!
