Not great news buddy. Hope they get you sorted quickly.

A golfing friend of mine has had PC since ‘92. Still alive & kicking…

Just the word “cancer” can set all sorts of demons running around inside your head. Don’t be frightened to ask questions, and there’s some great support networks out there. Use them, they will make life a whole lot easier.

Perversely, today is the 6th anniversary of my op for bowel cancer. Yeah, it took some getting over but I’m pretty much find now. No reason why you can’t have the same outcome.

Exactly this. It's corny, I know, but I found my bike a great way to keep the demons at bay. When having my treatments I'd be thinking how soon I could get out and ride, and as we know, there are few better ways of clearing your head.

Anyone with a long-term illness knows that you spend a hell of a lot of time waiting: waiting for the next blood test, the next scan, the next follow-up, etc. But while you're waiting, the clock is ticking. So it's crucial to live because otherwise, time just ebbs away while you wait for the next medical thing.

Sad update, not about my dad, but my brother in law. I did not mention him earlier but he went to the quack because he was feeling washed out and tired all the time about a year ago and they found a very aggressive and very advanced case of prostate cancer. Six months later he was wheelchair bound, he's been in a hospice for the last two months, and died this morning. He was only 65.

Get yourselves tested guys.
