Re: Sir Chris Hoy.

I'm not sentimental myself about death once people get to a certain age although I do understand the profound upset it causes.
I have always thought that getting to 60 years of age is something to be grateful for and that all else is a bonus. We all get picked off eventually and it's just a matter of when.

Spot On

And after 60 you can see that coming day ever clearer.

Re: Sir Chris Hoy.

'king hell! Are you OK? That's in Bob Monkhouse territory.
And 6 isn't normal.
Mine is "under 0.1" now - they never say zero.
It was 4.5 when my GP retested it and sent me to the Heath for further tests. By the time treatment actually started, the count had risen to just under 9. If I had gone undiagnosed for another year, I may not be here now.

Depends on your definition of OK lol.
I am now at 0.4, but it has spread and have metastatic bone cancer. Done the chemo, 1 dose of radio, and now on watch list.

I'm OK.Nothing to be done about it, just enjoy life now.
My missus was upset but I told her to look on the bright side. At least there's no chance of me getting run over by the proverbial bus because the Doc says I will last at least 3 years (I don't think she saw the funny side of it )

Re: Sir Chris Hoy.

How long ago were you diagnosed Bob? I hope it's being managed well now.

First PSA end of 2014 - 10 years ago!
2015 was spent with some further tests, including biopsy which confirmed cancer, then MRI which couldn't see it, as I was caught so early.
A few hormone injections to slow it down, the 20 sessions of radiation at Velindre in Jan 2015. Been clear since then.
Turned 70 in July.
