Nearly three years on from posting this, I’m pleased to say that my first post SRT PSA result was <0.01.
My kids seem to have weathered the storm relatively unscathed. My eldest is in her first year at uni and the boy is in GCSE year, lord help us 😂
We kept them informed of what was happening but tried to always put a positive spin on things, even when the RALP hadn’t worked and I needed more treatment.
All I can say is that they seem to have been very resilient and supportive, even though (or because?) as teenagers they are often wrapped up in their own worlds. It hasn’t been plain sailing by any means and we have had and continue to have ups and downs as they grow. But I’m so glad to have two wonderful children who have helped me through.
Good luck to others in the same boat.
