Alan ,I love the IOW . Gary often works in Cowes and other parts of the island as he is a barge master and drives piles and constructs pontoons and marinas around the country ,mainly the south coast now .

Keep a positive mind set which I think helps and keep active .

Best wishes

Hi, I have the same ongoing question in my mind too. My husband diagnosed 16 months ago with advanced PCa spread to local and distant lymph nodes.

He is 66 and to echo what Jasper said, wow, what a bolt from the blue!

We have settled from the shock now but are living in these 3 monthly segments, same as you.

Glad you asked the questions as Lyn has given us some real life hope. And look at irun!

Thank you Mrs MAS. Of course, I don’t want to know exactly ‘how long I’ve got’ but I, too, am heartened to hear from members of the “over 5 years and so going” club! Best wishes!

Thanks Debby. Well, I have obviously had good reason to thank Gary over many years as I have parked my boat in marinas in Cowes and elsewhere on the Island, not to mention all along the South coast, including in Gosport! I will continue to follow your posts and Gary's experiences and treatments. I pressed my consultant last year on 'next steps' when this current treatment fails and he said, "Probably abiraterone". I thought knowing what comes next may help with the three monthly anxiety....but it doesn't!!
