Chris

you're both doing well coping with the as yet unknown whereabouts of PCa. Hope this time you can move forward.

'Terrified them' sentence doesn't make any sense - is there a typo?

Thanks Chris

You know me by now Chris. I'm cross-eyed, cross legged, crossed fingers and everything in between.
In fact, you'd better get it right or I'll fall over !!

Chris,

Re: radiographers making comments at bone scans

This is a pain in the arse tbh, the last one I had the radiographer says “hymn, are you experiencing any unusual pains recently?” As she looks at the screen looking interested. I asked if she saw something worrying and she says “it will take two weeks to find out about”

Had me really worried about what she saw, but scan came back clear. I think they don’t realise how offhand comments might be received by patients in our position

They can probably see all sorts of things that are not cancer related. John's last scan came back clear for mets but has led to him having two new knees!

Celebrating rightly or wrongly ! !
Scores on the doors ..... Psa 24 , all other blood tests clear , full body CT clear , full body bone scan clear ( except wrecked knees lol ) , and I’m generally very healthy and leading a normal life since surgery nearly 3yrs ago.
Onco decided on no action based on no clear evidence of advanced PCa. Review bloods and psa in June. No scans till Sept ( I’ve had a lot ).
Action will probably be based on symptoms and / or psa velocity change. I’m utterly comfortable with all this and committed to living life to the full whilst I can. Booked our summer holiday already for the whole family. Yes it’s a worry for a week come test time , but it’s now forgotten already. Huge rib-eye steak in the fridge for tonight and a bottle of Rioja. Thanks again to everyone for support
