Really hope he can beat the odds.
Same here!
Cancer is a terrible disease and so many people are affected. So please if you notice any change in your toilet don't hang about get to your doctors immediately.
In 2006 I noticed I was peeing too often, so looked up the symptom and realised I had type 2 diabetes. (I know, idiot!)
Saw my doctor and was told to lie on the table and bend my knees up as far as I could.
Seems I had a very enlarged prostate and was referred tothe cancer dept in Birmingham after being told on christmas eve that a sample was cancerous.
I was operated on in early january 2007 and recovered, one of my six monthly PSA tests in 2020 showed it had returned, after 33 shots of radiotherapy I had the all clear and am still clear today.
Moral is...Any doubts, any doubts at all see your doctor! And the finger of doom has been replaced by a simple blood test, so no excuses.
After my positive blood test a year ago I nag all my mates to be tested. The earlier it’s caught the better. My initial PSA was 97.8, after radiotherapy, regular tablets & 3 monthly injections, I’m down to 0.1 PSA. All through medication obviously but hope to be cancer free, maybe, in two years time. Don’t be shy or daft lads, get tested
Glad to hear your treatment's going well 👍Originally Posted by splott parker

Absolutely right about testing. Early diagnosis and treatment are crucial. Take advantage of any free checks available to you and get anything you're worried about asap.
I think the fact that we're just finding out about it when it's stage 4 is not a good sign.

Amazing to think that it’s a dozen years since I had my prostate biopsy. I remember at the time that there was a debate over the usefulness of the PSA blood test as it can lead to invasive tests and surgery for people who do not have cancer. That debate is still going on, but there’s two examples in this thread of people for whom the blood test was definitely the right way to go and I’m pleased to see that they’re over the worst as they now have a degree of certainty that wasn’t there before.
C'mon super Kev and Kenny
