Hi Maria,
I just read your profile in full and wondered how you got that skin cancer. Did you do a lot of nude sunbathing whilst doing handstands?😉
Seriously though, you don’t say how old Mr Maria is. (I just re-read your first post and I see he’s 53 - unlucky, but we do see guys here in their forties)
As for “who your friends are”, when I was diagnosed nearly a year ago, two of my closest friends in their seventies and eighties came out and said: “Oh, I’ve got it too....” - they both had kept it secret from everyone - and others would text me in sympathy and treat me with kid gloves when meeting them as if I had a death sentence.
Bearing in mind I had no symptoms before diagnosis and now post-op I have never felt so well, aged 62 and 3/4. So my prognosis is good, and my oncologist told me I am cured. Not sure I believe him though.....
I hope everything goes as well for you and Steve. I have a vision of you on an endless loop climbing like Gollum from “ Lord of the Rings”!
Best of luck, my precious.
Cheers, John.
