Possible spread to right hip bone

Thank you Ange, I just wanted reassurance really and Lynn gave me that.

Oh dear Ange, I can just picture the pair of you falling about 🤣.

Funny but I actually started my rides yesterday and again this morning. Only 8 miles along the sea wall but it’s early days. So nice out early morning . My bum tells me i should have a day off tomorrow.....

I hide my cycling shorts under normal shorts.....

Take care

Hi,

Update - Keith went for No.3 of 20  Radiotherapy sessions today.  A slight problem as when he puts his hernia back in position prior to Radiotherapy, he was told today that it does not go back into same position each time and may cause a problem with targeting area going forward.  Tomorrow for 4th session they are going to try with hernia in the out position and see what happens and will need to discuss with Oncologist.

Hernia was diagnosed just prior to the prostate cancer and Oncologist wanted Chemotherapy and RT before the hernia op.

Has anyone on this forum had a similar problem?  I seem to recall someone on the forum mentioning her husband having a hernia too.

We’ll see what tomorrow brings, but Keith a bit disheartened today.

Best wishes to all  going forward with your journeys.

Good news , glad it’s all sorted now. They are so accurate with the radiotherapy now everything needs to be the same each time. I couldn’t fault my RT team . They felt like family by the end.

Have a nice weekend. Hope the F1 goes well , maybe another podium for Norris 👍.

Update - Keith on 8 of 20 Radiotherapy sessions.  Has had diarrhoea the last two days and his hemorrrhoids are a problem at the moment too (has had this problem for years so I knew this procedure would make this worse).  He has to have a micro-enema (5ml micralax) before each treatment so I suppose after 8 days it is to be expected.  He usually uses anasol  suppositories but will need to check whether ok to use these.  

Any advice re. diet, etc., would be much appreciated.

Many thanks.

Hi Jasper,

Just read your reply out to Keith. Thank you, very much appreciated.

Hope all going well for you.

Thank you Bill.  Will give it a try.

Thank you Jasper.  We are so relieved and it’s good that Keith can relax for a while.  We were so fortunate that the Covid situation didn’t delay any treatment, as we know this has been the case for some cancer patients.

Good luck with your December appointment, an anxious time waiting.  Hope all goes well for you.

Hi All,

An update on Keith’s progress.  Phone call from Oncologist today, PSA down from 0.10 to 0.068.  So good news, still going in the right direction.  Next PSA test in August 2021 so going to six monthly and by then will have been on HT (three monthly Prostap injections) for 18 months.  We are really happy with this result. 

Good luck to all and keep safe.

Some good news on Keith’s progress.  After being diagnosed two years ago with PCa and having 6 sessions of chemo followed by radiotherapy, his Oncologist has just confirmed a PSA result of 0.015 and that the three monthly Prostap injection he had last week will be his last one (for the foreseeable future). We are ‘over the moon’ with this result and are determined to stay positive and keep looking to the future.  As we all know, life is so precious.  Bitter/sweet news as my wonderful Brother was diagnosed with Colon Cancer at around the same time two years ago and lost his hard fight/struggle on 11th August.  God Bless all coping with this awful disease.
