Good luck with it all,my best mate growing up as just finished 4 months of hormone treatment which has successfully shrunk the prostrate and some lymph nodes which is a separate issue, thankfully. Starts radiotherapy first week of July
Wow, absolute madness. Cant be the only one who felt Tobes was invincible, always a "ohhh ****" moment when you saw he replied to you. Gonna be the fight of your life or a laugh Really, really sad. Thanks for the update brb
Good luck . Cancer took my dad , he was nearly in so a good life until the last few months . My 8 year old niece died of leukaemia. She was treated from 3 1/2. To the age of 8 . Now that sh&t simply doesn’t compute
I avoided the bold bit at all costs with Tobes He dealt with facts and I don’t this gif saved me many a time with him… please log in to view this image
Very sad news. Gonna miss our forum fights a lot, proper bloke and a huge part of this online community. No one quite told me to **** off like Tobes will deffo miss the lad even though we wernt exactly beasties on here I like to think we both played our parts well and it was never personal between us, he knew I was a twat and I think he came to terms with that eventually and we had a mutual respect of sorts. Hope he's up there with his peeps doing his thing
Really sad to hear the further details. If the worse has happened then just hope managed to enjoy what time he had left with loved ones. Fair play to brb for the dignified way has had to deal with this, although most here are just acquaintances through a screen, must have been tough one for you having those details and not knowing exactly what to do with it.
Devastated. Been off the Prem Board for a couple of weeks, but caught this by accident. I knew his condition, but we hadn't PM'd since last August, so I didn't know it was endgame till brb told us all last month. Was hoping for a miracle, but.... A proud Scouser, and a pleasure to have known him. Goodbye Simon, you will be remembered.
For what it worth Mick, my Gleason was seven, and as my ex was a nurse, she convinced me for a robotic prostatectomy. That was six years ago. I had salvage radiotherapy 3 years ago when my PSA rose to 1.2, but even then, they said it wasn't essential. Yes, I'm still fully functioning, to answer that question, but at 61, that wasn't my priority anyway. I've had workmates who went straight for radiotherapy, and that's fair enough, each to their own - but if you have radiotherapy and then it comes back, that makes surgery more complicated. However, I've been cancer free for three years, do a six monthly PSA test at my GP's, and I'm no longer under the oncologist. It may come back, I may get another cancer somewhere else - but I'm 61, and that could happen anyway. But listen, I recently back in touch with an ex in NZ who had stage three Hodgkins 20 years ago - she's cancer free, and has been for 18 years. There's more wins than losses nowadays, so take care and good luck.
Y'know, I was having radiotherapy a few years back. It was an utter doddle until near the end of the sessions, when I developed constipation that lasted for nearly a fortnight. I was feeling sorry for myself when I got talking to some woman there with her uncomplaining, seven-year-old kid, with a bald head who looked a bit like Elle from Stranger Things, except for the tube in her nose and a port on the back of her hand. She had a brain tumour, she had already had a course of chemo, was having radiotherapy, and they were hoping that when she had surgery in six weeks it wouldn't leave her disabled. Does rather get things in perspective, doesn't it? They gave me some laxatives and I somehow braved my way through it....
Yeah, I once told my ophthalmologist the bleeding he could see in my eye was due to the **** I couldn't sqeeze out 10 mins earlier. **** happens, or not...
