Doesn't sound as though it's helping much with your anxiety though, Lyn. In the end, it's his decision and if he and Mr P are happy with that,you've got to let them get on with it. Relax on this one till next year, even if you'd have preferred a more pro-active response.

Lyn,

Am I like your dad? Well of course not, except perhaps for one similarity which is attitude to PCa the more you survive. A topic rarely touched on here and maybe not elsewhere? Its not that you’ve given up on thankfully a long fight nor do you feel invincible but the more I survive the more I’m aware of others my age and younger in all health areas that do not. From that the quality of life, which always scored high on my list of wants, becomes increasingly important.

If it’s any comfort and not wishing to upset anyone: would I let my kids/relatives influence my health decision, No, perhaps it’s an age thing :)

Good luck to all

Ray

That time of year again - the 3 months seem to come around so quickly! John & I saw the onco last night, scores are in and PSA has stayed stable at 0.04 so it certainly seems that 0.02 - 0.04 is his 'normal'. Next appointment in August which will be 3 years on from RT and then we will move to telephone consultations every 3 months rather than face-to-face. In the meantime, next appointment with the uro will be June, 5 1/2 years post op.

We had a good chat about stress and anxiety - Mr B said he felt much better afterwards :-)

Thanks all - with other things going on, we really needed some good news I think. As do many on here right now - thinking of you all xxx

Bri / Paul, not until the 10 year mark apparently - perhaps because Stan's disease did not behave normally?

Julie, I don't know where I am going wrong. I am the least empathetic person in the world and yet I must have one of those faces that makes people want to spill their hearts :-( Mr B was very stressed last night so we gave him some good advice. I met a man on a train who told me all about his problems with his aging mum and his job. Two women left my training course today in tears (in the first 5 minutes .. I hadn't even got to the ground rules) and a third took up my whole lunch break with a worry about her children.

I might resign and become a till operator at Asda. People don't tell them stuff, do they?

Lyn

first of all great news for you and John we all need and love good news any time we can get it.

Secondly being a till operator at Asda will not help you at all, they get it all the time usually from little old ladies on pension day. I sometimes think being an underwater basket weaver might be a good trade to have and use. No-one in their right mind would want to talk underwater.!!

Hi Lyn

Great news on the results. As for your desire to change your profession, believe me becoming a till operator or anything that requires face to face contact with the public is like jumping out the frying pan into the fire. Maybe the best job would be to become a Nun, but reading your posts in the past I don't think you would be able follow the rules required lol.

Hi Lyn, good news. In terms of people telling you their stories you do have that understanding face and you give good straight forward comments to people which makes us feel confident. I certainly was reassured when you have responded to my concerns. All the best. Georgina

Pleased to hear your John has had a good PSA result.

Thank you for all the advice you have given me on this forum during the last 2 years - this is much appreciated.

Sending best wishes.

Very good news on hubby's latest  result Lyn....

 

PS....... If the looks on the faces of till operators at my local supermarket  this morning are anything to go by you wouldn't want to enter into any deep meaningful discussion with any of them....http://community.prostatecanceruk.org/editors/tiny_mce/plugins/emoticons/img/smiley-smile.gif
