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.

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

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

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
