Hi Tom,

Thanks for your reply,sounds like you are winning too long may it go on.I must say in general i am feeling a lot better over the last year and less tired and apart from returning from our trip to Spain early last December to sort out an elderly 98 year old mother in law but that is another story all is fine.

Keep in touch with your next results and good luck.

Regards John.

Hi all,

Today I have reached two years from my Brachytherapy operation at Mount Vernon and all is well with my Psa dropping slowly from 2.19 in September 2016 to 0.39 in June 2018.with my next blood test due in January 2019.I still get up a couple of times a night for the toilet but with no great urgency but this is much the same as before my operation.

ED is much the same but i still get four blue pills a month on prescription but it could be age related at 72 and don't expect it to improve much.

Regards John.

Hi Guys & Girls,

I have just got my latest blood test PSA results and the my PSA is down to 0.22 from 0.39 in June 2018 not a bad Christmas present.I was a little worried about this result so got it in before Christmas as the last test had only dropped from 0.44 to 0.39 and i was worrying about a possible bump.

I can know relax until the oncology meeting on the 8th of January and have a few beers and wines.

Wishing all the members and families a peaceful Christmas & New Year and thanks for all your support.

John & Pat.

Hi campers,

Just had telephone call to cancel my appointment with my oncologist tomorrow and given a new date for next week and at the same time given a new member from the oncology team.Ok my PSA is down and it was good to get the results before Christmas but I do seem to get a few dropped meetings does that mean they are happy with my progress so far or is it i live to near to the hospital.

Sounds more like your onco has left and patients are having to be fitted into other oncos' diaries.

I had one meeting with a different consultant oncologist last year and one with a registrar before returning to my original consultant. On both occasions my usual consultant was in the clinic. Not sure why.

Hope appointment goes well next week.

Hi Lads and ladies & Brachy Pals,

Just back from my latest oncology meeting at the Lister Hospital and after a good meeting they have extended my tests to one year so fingers crossed that 2019 could be a better year for us.

Hoping you all have a better year too.

Regards John.
