Advanced prostat cancer part 2

We”ve not stopped thinking of you Julie to be honest. Simply lost for thoughtful or kind things to say that may make a difference. I have been on here long enough now to see many good people pass and it’s quite frightening. Elaine and I are sending love and strength and a very bright future to the whole family , especially the boys who have the mum-of -the -world to hold their hands. Thank you so much for all your candid input xxxx

You have been such an inspiration to me and many others in their battle against this dreadful disease.

I will miss your posts more that I can say. You always showed courage when faced with impossible odds and managed to remain positive even in the darkest times. Trevor was so lucky to have you by his side.

I understand you must move on and give your boys the all the love and support you can. That's all we can do when we loose someone we love. They are the future now and the spirit and charactor of Trevor will live on in their lives.

My one wish is that I can show the same strength and courage in dealing with, what will be, a very difficult year ahead.

Thank you, Julie, for all you have given us.

So just over a year on since Trevors passing and just a short time until xmas , i have changed my avatar ( sorry guys ) 

this is Trevors grandbaby born in Feb little Reon who is thankfully totaly unaware of the importance of his birth he is amaxing and so much like his grandad .

of course Trevor would have insisted he be called G Daddy because grandad was never in his vocabulary.

for any newbies reading this i am going to try and condence our 4 and half years on this forum , Trevor was diagnosed with late stage pca . spread to ribs / pelvis / spine . psa of 13000 .

He survived 4 and half years not all ups i have to be honest but like Mahoomed Alli he came out fighting and continuied untill the last round .

you can read our story on my thread .

for all of the many friends on here i know i always say this but over the years every reply has meant so much to me you guys will never know how much you carried me . 

so the last year what can i say , well i have survived so thats good news, im still alive and still fighting on my sense of humour is coming back so watch this space.

The boys are myworld and make me proud and Trevors memory everyday . James is at Uni / so just myself and Zack at home know .

I just want to give thanks to the forum sometimes people dont realise that those people that respond are going through tough times themselves 

Merry Xmas to my oldies and Merry XMas to any newbies .

love you all old amd new xxx

Really great to hear from you again, keep going girl. 

Thanks Chris

Good to hear from you Julie! ...

I used to follow your Trevor's journey....even though his diagnosis and treatment path was far removed from mine.. 

Enjoy your Christmas

Best Wishes to you and your family

How lovely to hear from you again Julie and what a handsome G son you have. I too followed Trevor's journey and your strength and humorous posts were an inspiration! Sadly, I lost my younger brother to advanced prostate cancer last month and am still finding it a difficult to be up-beat and positive at times. However, I have the imminent arrival of our 8th grandchild to look forward to!!

Have a great Christmas and and happy new year

Dear Julie, I am a wife, a long time reader but not a poster to the forum.  But I felt I must reply when I saw your new post. I don't think you will ever know how much your posts have meant to me and others over the years.  They often gave me the strength to think that I could keep going, and more than that they often made me laugh.  I pleased to hear that your sense of humour is returning, and that you and the boys are managing.  I've thought of you so often over the past year.   May there be lots of smiles from Reon to brighten Christmas and the years ahead.
