Cancer

Well said Mr E and I'm very sorry to read your awful news, yes of course the first sign of trouble is blood in your urine and stools and go and get yourself checked out as soon as possible if you have either of those symptoms.

Thanks anxious.

She’ll certainly give it her best shot. I remember after her first chemo session in 2017 she rang me up a day later wanting to play golf!

Some of us don't know how lucky we are at times Mr Eboue, Your sister beat it before and sincerely hope she does again,my dad who was given little chance 2 years ago has the small price of a bag for the rest of his days but given the advance in treatment he at least is still smoking his pipe and having his euro ew,best wishes to you and your sister.

Cheers Slippy.

I’m concerned about my next door neighbour. He must be 70-75 and doesn’t have any children. His brother lives in Australia. He’s really slowed down in the last year or so as well, physically and mentally. I’m trying to see if there’s someone that can help him bet to and from the hospital. He’s a great chap, he invited me over the day I mobed in and we had a beer each while watching the racing!

plenty of help for people with cancer his GP or consultant will give him the information I am receiving treatment GL all

your wasting your time people who arnt scared of hospitals,their privacy invaded etc etc ,have no idea why those who are, will put off even thinking about going unless their lying on the floor, doubled up in agony and someone else makes the decision for them and because their more frightened of getting checked than what might be found, they don't confide in anyone, I count myself as one of those and anybody who isn't one of those types are wasting their time trying to understand someone who is, I count myself as one and the thought of spending time in hospital,getting seen is enough to stop me finding anything out as long as I can get about

Bright red Blood in Stools usually points to Piles ,dark red is a worry as Slip says Docs either way  ,any Blood in urine Get to the Doctor ASAP DO NOT DELAY EVER , Bladder cancer is lethal , Catch it early you have a chance, 50 % of those diagnosed will be
Lucky to see another 10 years , if that .. 

Prob with Early stage cancers is there are very little signs  , Stomach cancer prob the Most Deadly  of the Lot Due to late

diagnosis it is very rarely discovered early stages Lost my father in Law to it nearly 3 year back , Had no signs till very Late on they gave him 3 months He last 8 .. Absolutely Dreadful ,was a very fit man

I was one of them Types 1st , I seen blood ,I went it has probably saved my life and certainly saved having bits of my Body removed  , I have been clear coming up 2 years  , I joined a Bladder cancer Forum on diagnosis , I have had a fooking Miracle
compared to some , Fook knows where I would be now had I not gone In the last 2 years I have been on there many Have made their Last Post Tragic Even young people I thought BC was an Old persons Disease.

Went to see 1 of my best mates(a renowned racehorse artist) yesterday having just got out of hospital having had an op for stomach cancer took part of his stomach and his duodenal. actually looked remarkably well under the circumstances. a finer man/human being you could not wish to meet.
The b@stard of a disease took my mum and dad and my sister(3 out of 4 of us) has breast cancer. I feel im just waiting my turn.

It's devastating when those that you love have no going back. My Dad, we used to play squash together and he was a big strong Irish man. One day when I went to pick him up to go to Beckenham sports centre he was in a muck sweat and I took him to King's College Hospital and he was diagnosed with mesothelomia soon afterwards and he passed in agony. Never have I been so broken in all my entire life.

Lung cancer is one that is hard to detect in its early stages, by the time you realise it's spread to other parts of the body and then you don't get long to live, literally weeks, at least my experience with a relative, mum stopped smoking 5 years aged 48, hopefully that'll add a few more years.

I always thought that stress plays a big part in people developing many cancers, or at least promotes the growth/spread. When you look back and think of all the little things you stressed over, all the things you had no control over whatsoever, all that build up, you have to ask yourself the question, what was the point, that could be the key, don't sweat the small stuff, personally I tried to limit negative/bad news filitering in by not watching so much of it, because bad news is the bread and butter of media stories and we live in a day and age of MASS media, toxic mix. Sometimes we have no idea how stressed we are until we go on holiday and come down from it, or we're put out of action through illness and are forced to rest for a few days.

This may sound very simplistic and doesn't apply to those with genetic issues of course, but I believe good diet, exercise and learning not to stress your body and mind out will go a long way imo, maintaining that consistency is difficult but that's the key. All the best.

The hard Fact is that 50 % of us will be Diagnosed with cancer at some stage of our Life ,When Told this I could not Believe how high the Figure was , Its all about timing, Re Diagnosis, as to who Lives and Who dies..

I seen some Gadget on TV the other day that by simply Breathing into it, it can detect many  Kinds of cancers , Currently
undergoing Trials and in its early stages , But what a fantastic thing that would be .

Immuneotherapy is new form of treatmemt even really advanced cancers are adding years onto peoples lives,trouble is the nhs only use it for certain patients and certain cancers and costs around 45,000 per treament three months..My mum has incurable lung cancer,she has it in lungs,liver and lymphs from what i have read she probably wouldv'e been lucky to live 12 months,offered the immuneotherapy and the tumours reduced in size,but after a years treatment the tumours have just stayed stagnant..The nhs give you two years treatment then it stops,so come july it will be back to conventional treatments and probably cancers will be triggered to grow again,i will be paying for it if she wants to continue with it privately..

G luck to your Mum Gig it is amazing what can be Done , She is lucky to have you as a son who can help

It is unreal the Price of some treatments ,some people somewhere are Making millions out of others misfortune

I saw my grandad dying from cancer,has haunted me for 30 years working class couple who had nothing but would do anything for anyone,i spent all my time round my grandads any opportinity to get away from my mum and dad..Don't think there's a month goes by i don't think about them both,still really upsets me now his last words to me were ''i've had it mate''while i was holding his hand and his eyes were rolling in back of his head from the morphine.I just ran out of the hospital screaming,you can't forget things like that and then you see your mum has it..I just hope she doesn't have to end up like that i couldn't see that allover again.

My initial post was a bit doom and gloom but on a positive note
. My favourite Aunt (shouldnt have 1 but i did) was diagnosed with mouth/throat cancer in her mid 50s .
Had to have an operation that took away part of the roof of her mouth (this was 40 years ago) which dramatically affected her voice and basically had to learn to talk again.
She continued to live an active and wonderfull life caring for my grandparents and passed away @ the grand old age of 92
SO for anyone out there who is suffering or have loved ones who are there is plenty of hope (especially as medical science has advanced so dramatically over that period of time)
P.S MY sister is still in remission and going strong 15 years on from her initial diagnosis.

Yes Gigolo. Good luck to you and your mum.I was in a fortunate position(  had a very caring and understanding wife who was immense) i was able to take care and have mum come and live with us for the last 6 months of her life and give back some of the love and care that she had given throughout her life. She was an absolute pleasure to have live with us never moaned or grumbled once

Mr Eboue, I wish you the very best, as someone with much experience!

"Be Clear On Cancer"

That message comes back to haunt, and anger me, every time I see it!

My wife was piling on weight round her middle, and was diagnosed by a female GP, as having Fibroids....

Eighteen months later she had an operation for a hysterectomy, and was found to have two "Ovarian Cysts", the size of grapefruits!

She struggled on, for an eight year emotional rollercoaster, and lost the battle, age fifty two!

One of my Aunts turned me onto this when I was diagnosed over six years ago & I'm sure it's a major reason I'm still here today -

https://www.canceractive.com/

I wish Mr Eboue's sister and all other suffers just the very best in beating it.

I was lucky,lung cancer over 5 years ago right lung removed and was given the all clear last year.Best wishes to all with any form of cancer.

no disrespect casemoney but if you went and did something about it,you wernt one of them, that's the point I,m making if you eventually for whatever reason took steps your not one of them, that footballer was on bbc this morning about bowel cancer and getting applauded about raising the profile but the treatment,process,s involved, just entrenched my fears,thoughts of going to a gp, to compare a footballer who probably see,s a dr,physio,surgeon etc on a weekly ,daily basis to people who frightened to death of seeing ba gp,hospital etc is ridiculous,its like A  LIST celebs saying the same thing who,ll be going private,probably on chatting terms with their dr even friends with them,
the best I could pluck up the courage to do is give blood,stoolsamples for them to test for whatever they like did last year for prostrate but anything else is a no,no for me

Got bone marrow cancer only discovered after about two years of being tired & lethargic when doctor discovered my spleen was overly enlarged, less than two weeks later after a bone marrow biopsy ( most painful thing I have ever experienced ) I was given my diagnosis.

Best wishes for a good prognosis pumphol, to be told you have cancer changes everything, and I speak from personal experience having had testicular cancer, which thankfully was caught in time. That was 18 years ago!.
However, my (late) wife was diagnosed with ovarian cancer, and passed away 4 weeks later, aged just 57.
A truly vicious illness is cancer. It has so many forms, and the permutations for treatment are immense.
Best wishes to anyone suffering from it, and those who care for those with it too.

So sorry for your loss John, the bone marrow diagnosis was four years ago, I also had testicular cancer in 2016, I can only wish you continued good health.

1st I pished a fair load of blood Most people who do that will say something to someone , I was going to a Funeral the day it happened  when I went down stairs I told my Mrs ,She Made me go the Docs ,The blood never re occurred Had I not been with her that Day , I may well Have Just passed it off , Strangely going to a funeral At least, saved my bladder , If not
my Life Got me two year check up soon, So far from out of the woods , after tumour was Removed Was given an 80 % chance
of the basterd returning If I get two years out of the way the Odds of a return are a lot less Likely ..

Ovarian absolute Evil ,Silent killer Sorry to hear John , I knew a Lady Diagnosed was gone within a Month ...There are
really no words other than Cancer destroys so many Lives and not only the ones it takes ..

Good luck Pump

Some very welcome news - after three months of chemotherapy the cancer has shrunk enough that the surgeon now feels confident enough it can be operated on and removed. Still a major operation but the long-term prognosis is good.

I can’t emphasise this enough - if there’s something bothering you - a slight lump, blood when you go to the toilet or just a change in your wellbeing, PLEASE go and see a doctor.

God bless.

Good news, let's hope it all continues to go well.

Very welcome news,I was pleased to read it.

"Be Clear On Cancer"...

Someone should have told the doctor (female) who diagnosed my wife as  having Fibroids, and din't consider anything else!

Eighteen months later, it was found that she had two ovarian cysts, the size of Grapefruits!

Was diagnosed myself last month with ( at this moment in time ) stage 1 localized prostate cancer. my father was diagnosed in march 2012 ( after developing sudden symptoms ) with metastatic prostate cancer and lived just over 3 years before passing away 2 days before my birthday. he was 72. His oncologist advised him to tell me that ( as i was late 40's at the time ) that i should start yearly psa and prostate tests and this latest test my psa had gone up. i've had one biopsy that showed some cancer in the left hand side of the prostate only, but after seeing my oncologist at Salford royal, this month he wants to be clear and i now have to undergo a further transrectal ultrasound biopsy next month first one was bad enough, but at least i'll be put out for this. Early testing i guess has saved me, i also think back to my dad having those slow growing symptoms all his life and i guess he being the sacrifice for my early testing, heartbreaking also, speaking to so many guys in clinic who's cancer has also spread, really affected me mentally at the time, listening to them speak, fcuking criminal.

ANY DOUBTS about your health...............PLEASE GO TO YOUR GP.

Sorry to hear that Tinnotaton. Thank goodness you’ve got that early diagnosis.

Have you got someone to help you through the process? If ever you need someone to talk to, feel free to pop me a message.

Good luck.

Thanks Mr eb , i sure will, have got my wife and others so not lacking support, but positivity is key as you will well know yourself, im really optimistic and positive and will almost certainly go for the active surveillance if no further cancer detected, not really ready yet for invasive surgery as long as it can be monitored regularly. Younger brother (48) is burying his head in the sand though, as has no intention of getting early testing, stating he would rather not know about it, crazy !!!! but i cannot drag him there. Older brother died of a heart attack last year and he could have already have had early symptoms also, but he stii wont go,

Anyway good to read that you are on a good long term prognosis, good to share your story, especially if it helps others... cheers

Eboue/Tin - been fighting it for getting on close to 4 yrs now - 1st had probs when going to toilet passing loadsa blood - turns out it was bowel cancer - had op nov15 and had ileostomy bag fitted which was reversed March 17 - was stage 1 cos i acted quickly - anyway then got admitted for gallbladder surgery removal nov 17 after having been given the all clear just a mth earlier -on removal of gallbladder they found two lesions on my liver so i spent the early part of 2018 having chemo and beating sepsis - was a hero to nurses on ward cos i tipped em all Tiger Roll when back in hospital but then had major surgery again in October which resulted in me having anutha bag put on and a canny big scar as a reminder but im still here fighting so keep staying positive cos thats half the battle and its amazing what they can do nowadays and outta all the charities out there please throw a bit in any tin thrown at you re cancer cos it cud be you next and work they do is immense

Jesus! You’ve been through the mill Smirnoff!

What a great attitude to have, I’m in total awe of anyone who can face such a serious illness the way you do.

I hope things improve, you’re certainly due a good run of luck. Bless you.

i like to think im a gud friend of wazza/aka willyshafter on hr forum - people divnt like him cos he calls them out - ok he aint subtle but he calls a spade a spade and giv me that man every day ova daydream believers - i dont do facebook or twitter so this place is my that but on things like this why not share your experiences  whether right or left.

Im from coalmining stock and the current British Steel crisis does make me laugh cos i live close by to a town that the "iron lady" tried to wipe out in 1980 by closing a steel plant that was making money - funny how it all comes around again

TINnota - what was ur PSA reading that went up?  Was it above 3 - 4?  Cheers

Long story short. was diagnosed with prostrate cancer in Sept, no symptoms whatsoever, however my father had it so in 2014 I had a test, this actually led to finding out about something else but the prostrate was not mentioned again, however after 4 years of not taking a psa test I asked for another, this came back with a reading of 6.4 hense the investigation which led to a biopsy & a result of very early & slow growing cancer, I was given three options removal, radiotherapy & Active surveillance, I did ask if the latter was a viable option & was told yes, there is sometning called the Gleason score & mine is the second lowest so watching is viable, I have a blood test every three months, the first one after my biopsy in Feb was still 6.4, it was at that stage I actually found out what my psa result was back in 2014 & it was 2.4, I had my next blood test last week results on Wednesday so fingers crossed, everyone is different if it was the only cancer I have I suspect I would want rid I suspect it could play with your mind knowing you have it & just watching it progress, however having had chemo 18 months a ago I feel fine & I'm checked on a regular basis with another biopsy later in the year I suspect, the fact is many people get diagnosed & succumb to other ailments that's not to say I wont have treament at a later stage, in fact its the gleason score that is more important than the PSA apparently if that was high I would have needed more extensive treatment.

Best of luck Pump. I hope the results come back with good news. God bless.

Thanks Mr E

All the best to one & all.

Hi PUMPHOL,

after regular 9 monthly tests since 2012, where my psa was always 2.1, my latest blood psa test in march showed it had risen to 5.1, not particularly high compared to many that are diagnosed, ( my dad's was 1,536 on his diagnosis ) but although my prostate felt normal, my gp said that because my psa had risen and because of my family history, it was just precaution to do a biopsy and make sure, my gleason score was 3 + 3 = 6 so lowest reading there.
As already stated, the oncologist at salford royal wants to double check with this transrectal biopsy, holy moly, ( i actually said that in the room on my first biopsy, when he inserted the probe lol )
I understand your predicament, if this latest biopsy comes back the same, i will go on active surveillance as im comfortable with that, im not ready for surgery just yet and im not having radiotherapy as a first treatment, as if the cancer should return later in life, it can lead to more problems after the then prostate removal, where the after symptoms can treble ( ie, incontinence can worsen for recovery time or may never get better )
I agree with you, that if non removal of the gland ( ie active surveillance ) its always in your mind that the cancer is there, but i can live with that, its just a pity for me that because ( like you no symptoms ) my dear old dad never got any option except prolonging his life for 3 years

Best of luck also, any further questions i'll be like mr eboue, more than happy to answer, best wishes

TIN

KRISKIN,

sorry was answering to your post as well as PUMPHOLS ( was using small screen, so it got a bit fcuked up )

TINnitaTON

Good luck to you, hope all turns out ok.
I have had yearly blood tests for PSA count since I was 40, (now 68). A simple test absolutely saves lives.
I know a lot of men fear going to the doctor about their prostate because they assume it will be the finger up the bum test.

My PSA is always around 1.3, but I know any change that represents a significant % increase, will be followed up.
I've always been advised to be wary of biopsies. This is a very invasive operation and can often lead to more problems regarding infection.Also it is somewhat ' hit and miss ' because any biopsy represents a sample taken from one particular
area of the prostate. That part may not show cancer , whereas cancer may exist in another part of the prostate.
The ' wait and watch ' strategy is a good one. My brother in law was diagnosed with prostate, but the consultant said, there was more a likelihood of him dying of old age, rather than the cancer growing to a point where it became life threatening. Every person is different and need to be treated accordingly.

Thanks for your kind words FACTS, your correct about the biopsy, i was lucky as i did not suffer infection, but had really bloody semen for 3 weeks, but none in my urine or stools. there were 12 samples taken, 6 from each side of the gland and you are again correct to say its a bit hit and miss, thats why im now undergoing the transrectal method were they take up to a maximum  of 25 samples from all over ( there will be nothing left of the prostate to remove at this rate ) it's sh1te to have to go through all this again for conclusive prognosis, but like your brother, im hoping for the same outcome....

Cheers

Should have stated a minimum of 25 to maximum of 50 from all over...

Good luck TIN. You can beat it.

Life's too short, stay lucky everyone.

Facts - I had biopsies taken from my prostate a few years ago. It is invasive as you say and the risk of infection is mainly because the fact that the biopsy has to be taken through the back passage. It involves basically firing a gun at the target 12 times to different areas. I think you would be very unlucky if they missed an area where cancer was present but of course it is possible. It was a bit painful but the nurse holding my hand eased the pain.
I was informed that the biopsies were clear and the enlargement was benign. I did however need an op which is called a bladder neck incision because of tightness of the bladder neck. Now putting out fires but still need regular PSA test.

Good luck all - if you're not wearing a prostate man badge - send off for one - people always ask what it's for and thereby helps raise awareness.

I have great sympathy for Mr Eboue

and everyone on this thread

Cancer is a terrible disease...we are still a way from defeating it


But hopefully we will do it one day


Hope those mentioned on this thread recover

All the very best TIN

I wish all the best to anyone on here who is undergoing treatment, or friends/family who are. Seeing as a lot of sharing is happening I will add to it. My wife found out recently that she has the BRCA gene. While she is cancer free, she has made the decision to undergo breast and ovarian surgeries - I have to say it was quite the gutshot to find out she has it tbh.

G luck TIN early Diagnosis is the Key to Survival, 1 in 2 of us will suffer some form in our life time ..

The strange thing is that I had bladder cancer but can think of no Male Members in my Family and Extended family who had cancer
and thats going Back years Most of them would have Smoked and drank also , Infact in a family of 14 my father came from
only one person a Woman had Cancer My aunty who Died two years back,she was a Non Drinker and Smoker as far as I know .  ... His Parents Died in Old age Heart problems .

My Mum who was an only Child never had it and Neither did her parents My Grandfather Drank heavily and Smoked , His Liver Packed up , Grandmother smoked Woodbines Died aged 94 from Old age  ..

That is a massive selection of People with no or as near as People with cancer , And would include their children as far as I know ..Well up till the Last time I heard from them .

Makes no Sense   Spec when you read these days you are about evens to be diagnosed at some stage

ttt

My lady was diagnosed with cancer in her breast two weeks ago today. We know nothing more than that and have the first meeting tomorrow, I don't know how she has coped.

Im Very sorry to hear that saddo, i hope you get positive news from your wife's consultation, it is obviously a very stressful time for you both...
Thanks also for all the kind words from everyone on here, im due my next biopsy on 21st of june and will update once i know my full diagnosis and treatment.

Best wishes,

TIN

G luck , Stage  of Diagnosis is the Clincher hopefully both cases Early stage , Try to stay positive you will be in Top class hands , the care I had From the NHS 2nd to none ,4/5 weeks from Diagnosis to Tumour being removed ..

Regarding Facts and the Finger up the Bum, the first one I had Done was By a Very attractive young asian female Doctor   The strides were Down, finger up, stride back up in a Matter of seconds , I had not been expecting it

Nothing to fear what so ever .. 

a few of on here are veterans of that side on, knees up to chest position casemoney...... i've had to many

Awful thing, cancer. Some of the treatments aren't much fun either.
To everyone affected goes my sympathy and best wishes.

I lost Mrs Cert to ovarian cancer last moth.
The last few months were brutal.
Watching her suffer left me in tears pretty much every day.

Best of luck to everyone whose lives it may touch.

... and now I hate myself for every time I remember when I was horrible to her.

Sincere condolences RC, i know full well how you feel seeing a love one go downhill, the only comfort you can grasp is that you were there with her through it all and dont feel that way, it will torture you beyond belief.

Thank you, TIN.
I did my best.
Held her hand at the end.
I hope you are doing OK.
Early days for me.

you'll get there, but it will take time and lots of it, you did all you could and im sure she knew that,

I'l be fine, once i know where im at,

Cheers,

Oh, RC. My thoughts are especially with you. Only time can ease what you're going through. I'm sure you were nice to her at times too. Keep thinking about the happy stuff and not the bits that might make you feel worse. You'd say the same to her, wouldn't you?

Sorry to hear about your Missus Racing , must have been very difficult for you and your missus

Thank you, SF. You are very kind.
Time ... the great healer ... let’s hope so.
We did have good times but she deserved more.

Thanks, Anxious.
Toughest thing imaginable.

Cert   A truly dreadful thing to have to watch a Loved one, destroyed by this disease , Lost the Father in law to Stomach Cancer ,The word Brutal describes it All the best Cert , The hardest  times for you .. The broken people
this disease leaves behind but somehow most get through it , Life is just never the same,as you know ..

Thanks, Case..
You know too.

Please no more. If I could be presumptuous, i’ll take as read any more good wishes.
Thanks.

view this ,,this cannabis works for cancer patients, i bought it for a relation who had cevical cancer,[  given a year to live and told it was just like a fire burning inside her ]then contacted lymph cancer,, she was going through her chemo,  while she was taking the cannabis capsules,  before her 4th dose of chemo they gave her a scan , on going for the results ,the consultant she is seeing was astounded,,no sign of any cancer,,they told her she didnt need to take her final session of chemo,,  dont get me wrong she isnt out of the woods yet ,but she has been told there isnt any cancer ,,she still has some capsules still to take to finish her course,,not cheap though one capsule 3 times a day,,60pounds a day 5 grand,,but things are looking alot better for her.

and i know other people that have taken cannabis oil,,  with fantastic resuts.

sorry for your loss.

All the vert best to Case & Cert

Reading this thread has got me totally frightened, I hope everyone will be OK on here . I'm having blood tests tomorrow afternoon. I have been bleeding from my bottom for 6 weeks, to begin with it was only 2 or 3 times a week but in the last 3 weeks it has been every day. I feel absolutely fine, I'm 52, but on the toilet paper it's every time I go to the loo now.I'm a bit freaked out right now as I'm fairly fit and healthy otherwise.

All the best, Slippy.
Hope the tests are good.
Let us know how it goes.

I hope you are OK Slippy,you are braver than me to leave it 6 weeks.

good luck slippy,,,went for a test myself after i was bleeding from my back end,,but i was sent for the camera up the back passage , luckily i was told it was bad piles ,and they would settle down in time,,hope everything turns out ok for you /

Thanks gents, yes second again I should never have waited 6 weeks. I had blood tests and a rather attractive doctor put her rubber gloves on and had a bit of a prod around inside my bum! I've got an appointment at Guy's Hospital for a full examination, she said that she didn't think I was in trouble as the blood was bright red and not prolifically heavy so she did put mind at rest a lot although I did tell her I was a little bit anxious. See how the tests go and the camera results, puts everything into perspective things like this.

Best of luck Slipps

Thank you pumps, easily the best poster on here ever I think I'm OK but bleeding is stressing me out mate.

  Slipps

The Doctor sounded quite hopeful from what you said, I get the worry, especially if its the first time you have been in this position, I felt the same way in 2014, be positive it really is the best medicine & fingers crossed everything's fine.

G luck Slip, Bright red blood odds on the Farmers Quite possibly internal Buggers . I have them ,they play up occasinally
and Blood now and then ,Once checked Out , they are harmless , Straining While Pooing will usually kick them off , All the best .

Slippy dont be fooled by finger up bum routine - been there worn the t shirt - had it done by my doc - nowt to worry about but sent for colonoscopy  just in case - best thing he eva done in hindsiht cos there was a tumour there - been to hell and back in last 3-4 yrs since but best chance you hav is catching this awful disease early - im only posting at this time of the morning cos i cant sleep thinking about it - cos it is a head fook - but god luv the nhs when ya really need it

Some people have difficulty dealing with their own mortality none of us will live forever. On Wednesday a close relative of mine died she had been in a vegative state for over 10 years in truth she ceased to be herself as far back as the 90s. I am glad her suffering is over

10 Years is a Long way past the switch being turned off at the right time , Infact in some cases weeks Extending Life is  all wrong ..

There is a time to let go with terminal illness , Being lucid would help , and not being starved to death would certainly be a Positive ,But hey Ho the Liverpool pathway is a runner WTF ever thought that up ?

On moral or religious Fooking Grounds it is not right to end the Terminally ill persons Life ..

Lets let the family watch their loved one Starve to death While the poor person is out of their Brains , There has to be

Some Luvvie rsoles involved some where , The same fookers who Ended the Death Penalty No doubt , But  are ok to

Let peoples families suffer the tragedy of the  FULL END of terminal Illness on their Loved ones ..

I Have not and  would not let a Dog Suffer what a Couple of my Family Members have suffered to leave this world ...

Slip , sorry the Thread has taken a Turn Since my Last reply , Bright Red is Piles Mate Ill bet 3 on

All the best you will be Fine you are in the best hands , and in particular anyone who is Reading if you EVER pass

BLOOD in you URINE , DOCS NEXT DAY not next week not in a MONTH next Day , BLADDER CANCER IS FOOKING LETHAL , but

not if caught Early I would go on more bout the Disease but if anyone wants to know More Google Andrew

Winterbottom He passed away Yesterday , After years of battling the disease , he has done more in the Fight against BC

than anyone I know of , I joined a group he started on FB when I was Diagnosed and extremely Lost and confused ..I am

2 years Clear I hope to be 20 years Clear , I will still pop into the Group G luck to all who Have had or are

Fighting this Shyte Disease , Like Smirn Talk about it We are not Lepers , It is like when you have it People think

they will catch it off you Everyone looks extremely Shocked and then no fooker mentions it again , Mind you

When I tell them ur only evens to catch some form of it ,its hardly Surprising

Dear Me , Has to be my Longer Post ever , But if one Fooker reads it and Goes to the Docs Regarding Blood in Urine

Please remember and pass the message on Or just remember One day a friend might mention it .

Evening all, hope everyone is in good form.

My sister is recovering after a serious operation last week. Her surgeon was very pleased with how it all went, thank God.

Since starting this thread my uncle was checked for pain in his jaw and was diagnosed with cancer. He had a huge operation to remove a bit of his jaw bone and neck tissue. Again, his recovery is going great.

A reminder - if something doesn’t feel right or you don’t quite feel yourself, get on the phone to your doctor. You can never be sure.

God bless.

good luck to your relatives and everyone else, in my family only 1 member has ever suffered from the big C, and he was mid 80's with lung cancer, smoked for many years and sat in places inhaling second had smoke as well, never have done myself so hopefully I'll swerve that one, we can only hope a cure or a preventive cure for all of them are found, all the best.

Wise words best of health to all

After what seems an absolute lifetime finding out my full diagnosis, i finally, after undergoing a template biopsy on the 30th of july, got my prostate cancer results at salford royal yesterday, my appointment time overrun by an hour and just sitting there waiting to be called in was absolute agony, however, thankfully, it was worth it, as i was informed that it was good news and no further cancer has been detected apart from very low grade on my initial trus biopsy in April.
As this is the case, i can now undergo active surveillance, where i undertake 3 to 4 monthly psa blood tests, 6 monthly examinations and i will undergo a precautionary mri sometime within the next year, i would also hope that it could be many years before i will need any extensive treatment, ( the after effects of that biopsy were bad enough ) but there is always a chance that treatment could evolve further by then.
Even so, after yesterday's news, it was still very hard not to think about all those people that i've met through clinics and when i was in for the template, who had tragic diagnosis' i've been lucky, they have not and it's very difficult not to think about them.

Good luck to you Tin hope have good health
