Hi Pimmo, it's strange mate, you know what could be the inevitable but you want it to be the news you want to hear

 

How you doing now?

 

I'm doing ok thanks I'm able to walk around the house but only slowly. I'm getting used to having tha catheter attached to my leg and also emptying it. Got to wear it for the next 2/3 weeks.

 

Best of luck to you pal 👍

Cheers andi

 

Update. Well it's two weeks since I had the operation. Just got back from having the catheter removed which is a massive relief LOL!!!!! Now I've got to wait until the third of November to see the consultant and find out my PSA levels, fingers crossed

 

Hope all goes well

Paul

 

Fingers crossed for you dude, I'm sure all will go well bud.
Stay positive

 

Keep strong mate you've been an inspiration to me.

 

Hi Pimmo, if you want to you drop me pm with any questions I'd be only too happy to answer them

Thank you to the ones wishing me well, much appreciated guys.

 

Only just stumbled on this thread, best of luck to you buddy! Sounds like things are going well, keep fighting pal!

Hi all, well I've just got home from hospital wher I received the best news I could have wished for. No cancer is present!!!! The doc did say that the cancer I had was very aggressive and that I am at high risk so need to be checked every three months.
Result!!!!

Thanks to all those who wished me well

 

Great news

Any side effects of the prostate removal other than the positive ones?

 

Well I can't get the horn anymore but with some help and time things should eventually get back to some normality hopefully

 

As already said....excellent news fella

 

wow, cracking news mate, really please for you

 

Cheers to you all, the Champers is on ice as I write

 

We'll done buddy, really pleased for you

 

made up for you mate, really great news.

 

Good news.
My old man was diagnosed with it about 20 months ago at the age of 69, but it is too aggressive to be able to cure, palliative care only. It has spread to his pelvis as well.

Had the finger up the jacksie a few years back myself, although thankfully I'd just been stabbed in the **** with morphine so didn't know too much about it.
Looks like I will have to get used to it though, my uncle has not long been diagnosed with prostate cancer as well so I am a likely candidate for it.

 

Keep an eye on it, get checked regularly and the survival rates are huge.

Sadly the older generation are very "stiff upper lip" and don't want to get checked out.

 

There is evidence to suggest a regular unload helps reduce chances of PC. Also I have heard that Japanese men have some of the lowest rates of PC due to their women offering rectal massages, helping remove toxins from the prostate

That's great news

 

A fan of the Chinese then?

Ooops!

 

dads had hotwire on the prostate to help him pee, it comes to most of us in time does inflamed prostate, he's like a race horse now.

he did have the scare of a high reading but it turned out he was ok, he is 83 though.

Glad to see your clear, and if unloading is anything to go by i bet this thread has a lot of new monkey spankers now LOL, brb its time for my brunch time fiddle LOL

 

They say if you make it to 70, prostate cancer wont have time to kill you ..

 

Update, went and gave bloods last Friday, got my appointment on the 9th of Feb, once again, fingers crossed. I'll let you know how I get on.
