Sandy - As a fellow Gleason 9 and just along the road in Glasgow, sorry to hear that things aren’t great, in my thoughts

Hi Sandy, so sorry to read this. Thinking of you and your family at this time. Glad the MacMillan nurses are doing their best to keep you comfortable.

Oh Sandy, I am devastated for you all. Your cancer has just been so persistent and Heaven knows, you have tried everything offered to you.

I am reminded of an old member, Alathays, who was diagnosed at age 51 I think, and also tried every drug and trial going but nothing worked for long. As he was nearing the end stages, he would often say that he wasn't ready to go - one more cruise, one more trip, one more trip to the rugby club. As he often said, it isn't over till the fat lady sings. I hope that the fat lady is locked in someone's cellar right now and you have a bit more time x

Hi Phil.

Sorry to hear of your problems with meds.You have posted on Sandys thread who found the Macmillan nurses helpful with pain relief while on this treatment.You are likely to get a better response if you post this as a new thread otherwise it will get overlooked by many in the community who may have some helpful advice to offer.Stay strong.

Kind Regards
