Oh I see what you meant now. I hope that has given your daughter and all the family some comfort in the midst of the dark.

After the storm of recent weeks it's seems to be getting calmer.

Prostate biopsy clear so it's back to square one - PSA goes above 2, from my part it needs to stay there this time, it's another biopsy. Next PSA test in 6 months.

Having flow test sometime as I would like to try Vesicare again but they need to be sure I'm emptying bladder.

Not had a break never mind a holiday for years due to commitments but they're gone so we can now..

And where are you thinking of going?

Good news on the biopsy or frustrating?

Lyn a good question "Good news or frustrating". It was my first thought. I swung between find a small tumour within the prostate, deal with it even if only with IHT so I'm away from that cliff edge for a year or so against I don't to be in the out of remission camp. I guess those in that camp will quite rightly say "lucky you" Me thinks I/we need that break.

On that the UK as I couldn't be facing airports or a cruise right now. Christine said "I'm never been to Llandudno so how about there" - what???. Followed by "I don't care just anywhere" I don't drive now so maybe a coach/hotel deal. All we know is the b###### refurb can wait and wait.

Hi Barry

Thanks . In comparison to your PCa journey mine has been a walk in a sun soaked park. I do hope that PSA stays steady and fruitful help comes on the water works.

Well in theory holiday booked B&B at Paignton for a week starting Mon.

The PSA roller coaster.

April 1.96 (referred) - May 1.55 - now Dec 0.852. Posting to show PSA after RT/HT might go up but it can also fall. Quite a few times in my case -:)

Great Xmas news Ray. Just enjoy the next few months. It never goes away , but I’m learning to mostly store my angst between appts. My family may argue that point but i try my best.
Best wishes

Chris, Si, thanks wish there was a button I could press to forward the good news to all.

Barry, so far from early next year nothing to stop a holiday. After all these years a feeling yet to adjust to.

Hope all goes well for everyone.

Your PSA would drive a lesser man round the twist! Have a brilliant Christmas xxx
