A place to have a chat.

Suzz, I love that typo. It's very apt considering how much booze I drink. 😂

Kev, I also loved the Freddo caper. 😁

A few years ago,  I made the mistake of telling  my daughter of how, when I was a kid, I once pigged-out on sweet coconut mushrooms. I had so many that they made sick.  Even today,  just looking at them, makes me feel queasy.  Now, every birthday and Xmas, as a sick joke, the little minx, always gets me a huge bag full. She loves them. 🙂

Hi Suzz.

Is your profile picture of Albie or Arlo? I think in your last post you tried to post pictures of them. You obviously adore them and are a fab nana. I dont think you can post photos on this forum. Which is a shame. 

I seem to recall that Arlo was the name of Disney's The Good Dinosaur. But that 'Disney' matter.  🙂

My grandson loved The Good Dinosaur and I topiaried Arlo's head out of a hawthorn bush in my back garden and put two solar lights in it for eyes. If we could only post photos. 😁

Didn't get to bed until the early hours this morning. I made a very big hole in a bottle of whisky and feel slightly fragile this morning.

Luckily I've nothing planned today so I can recover, pottering around in the garden. I might give Arlo a bit of a trim, but I'll have to first check that there are no birds nesting in him.

Hi Pratap.

It's lovely that you've popped in  mate. I'm so pleased that your result was good as well. I agree that the less than arrow is so important as it means your PSA is less than the lowest level that particular lab measures to

I'm having a telephone consultation with my surgeon at the end of June and will ask him, as I've been undetectable for over two years, if he'll put me on 6 monthly PSA checks instead of every 3 months.

Anyway must leave this virtual pub now and head off to a real pub. I've arranged to have a few pints with a gardening pal of mine. We'll bore each other to death sharing pictures of our plants and shrubs.

Hi guys.

Great to hear all the good test results coming back. Always a stressful time. 

Had my consultant meeting yesterday afternoon and I’ve updated my thread with the info. We always said this thread is for having a chat and a virtual beer/whisky/vodka not discussing the ins/outs of our respective illness. 

But just a quickie… PSA initially went up to 48 but came down to 45 which is good and actually was unexpected. Having so many blood tests now , almost weekly now. So lucky my palliative nurses come and do it at home for me. 

Regarding photos on here , it would be great but I suspect cost a lot more to run the website. Maybe they could do it but the photos are removed after a month or a few weeks even. But at the moment I’d just like it to stop giving me errors when it’s loading. 🤷🏼

Take care everyone,

Phil
