Sorry to hear that news mate and good luck with the treatment. I have a close friend who's a QPR ST holder and is going through the treament right now. He's on the mend and coming out the other side. Very similar story to yours but it can be beaten Maybe its just a rangers thing ?!! All the best wishes from upside down land !
FFS Staines, hurry up and get better, please. With Dyer, Hargreaves (maybe) and a few others on our books we can't have you clogging up the health system. Good luck mate.
attention whore hope everything goes well for you and the family and the road to recovery is a very short one all the best
well done for having the guts to confront it so quickly staines,my dad was diagnosed with bladder cancer a couple of years ago,he had blood in his urine for about a year before he decided to do anything about it.now theres nothing more they can do for him,if only he had gone to the doctors sooner.
Stay strong Staines You can beat this thing, important you stay positive, and fair play to you getting yourself checked out soone enough... Best wishes from your neighbourhood ranger Stanwell Stan
Sorry to hear Staines. You are one brave bloke to wrote it down here. Its a quite common cancer for middleage men so better be aware than be late. Hope you get better mate.
So sorry to gear that Staines, but it sounds like you'll beat this. Noes jot the time to be deserting us when Qpr are on the ascendancy. I was rushes to hospital a few years ago after collapsing in agony. In a&e and had to go through the test to eliminate what it was. Of course this brought the doctor around to tell me he was about to shove his finger up my arse. I wouldn't have minded but the bastard didn't even tell me he loved me first. In the end it turned out to be kidney stones, I pray none of you gets them as it's about as painful as it gets. Then last year I felt a little lump on one of my nuts. I mulled over going to the doctor for a couple of weeks, eventually I went and she said she didn't think it was anything to worry about, but would refer me to the hospital. The next day I got a letter to say that I didn't need an appointment as men needing a scan of their balls can just turn up. So I turned up at St marty's Paddington to have an ultra sound. There was me and 15 fat pregnant women who were all looming at me as if I was the enemy. That's exactly what I was to them a few minutes later when having only been there 10 minutes I was called through by a little Chinese man, oh great I thought 'a man to play with my bits'. Well as it turned out it would have been preferable for him to be playing with my bits, instead it turned out to be the most stunning doctor I've ever seen!! 6ft tall kiwi with maori blood and absolutely stunning. Well it was the hardest thing I've ever been through trying not to go hard as she plays with my bits for 10 minutes. And yes I did run home for a tommy. In the end all was good. But you do need to get these things checked asap as it usually is nothing, and the worry of not knowing us far worse. Anyway Staines I'm sure all will be ok and I'm sure I speak for everyone when I say we are all here fir you!
Staines mate, I'm real sorry to hear your news, and like everyone else here, wish you a speedy recovery with as little treatment, discomfort and time as it is possible to have. I kind of understand what you're goign through - my father was diagnosed with bowel cancer earlier this year, but he was one of the lucky ones. It was caught early, swiftly into hospital within three weeks of the diagnosis, and although his operation was a lengthy one (over ten hours instead of the expected four) and they basically took away everything from a certain point downwards and stitched up the opening (yes - exactly that) he's thankfully not needed any chemo or radio therapy, and aside from the new 'disposal methods' you'd not know anything had happened. Trust me, at 76 years old, as at any age - that's the best possible outcome. I hope and pray that your outcome will also be as successful and positive as it is possible to be. Hang in there, mate...
You have certainly made me think. I am a similar age to you and I have always thought that I should do a check up annually but never get around to it. Stay positive, of those that I know that got the same diagnosis they have all beaten it. I wish you all the best Staines.
I've actually just gone on antibiotics for a possible prostate infection. I hope that's all it is. Anyway, good luck!
All the best Staines, thoughts and prayers with you. Thanks for sharing - an important lesson to us all.
Hi Staines...It is courageous of you to share this with us. A bit of a wake up call for me cause my dad had a total prostectomy when he was in his mid fifties for prostate cancer. He made a full recovery and is 70 now. His brother also had it recently so it's in the family. I piss a bit more than i used to but i'm getting older (45)...and i have been putting of getting my psa checked. Anyway all the best with your treatment...sounds like it's been caught early so hopefully you will make a full and quick recovery...
To all of you who have taken the time to post on here (There are far too many to mention you all individually) may i just say you have humbled and honoured me with your support. The strange thing is that i look, feel and act no different than when i was diagnosed with the disease (My mate said to me the other day "Bruv you are still the same old c***, just now your'e the same old c*** with cancer ) Hearing some of the stories on here from Norway, Dan, Seahoop and WLW emphasisies to me that i AM one of the lucky ones, if you are gonna get Cancer (which 1 out of 3 of us will in our lifetimes), to be honest Prostrate Cancer is the one you want to get because it is very treatable, if hopefully as in my case, it is caught in time. As my consultant very cheerfully said to me last week "I'm quite sure something else will kill you first before the cancer does" Once i have had the 'Template Biopsy' (after the school holidays i've asked) then hopefully i can be put on 'active surveillence' where basicly they do nothing other than check me out every 3 months to make sure it doesn't grow or spread. Sometimes the cure can be worse than the disease and i dont really want to be incontinent in my 40's !! Anyway thanks again guys from the bottom of my heart.
Seahoop, i re read your post and realised you hadn't yet got a PSA test done. Honestly mate, with your family history you need to get a test done, so please do it asap. My dad (RIP) was a very private person and it was only after i was diagnosed, that i found out he too had had a Prostectomy (He died of a heart attack at 59). My Grandad on my mums side did actually die of prostrate cancer. So it can run in the family
