Lucky they got it early, once it is out it should be gone.
Have they tested the Lymph nodes?

Sorry to hear that,I've just been diagnosed with it and they've given me the choice of the surgery you mention,radiotherapy or monitoring.I've decided to go with the radiotherapy after talking to a consultant,just waiting for appointment. I found out after a random blood test my doc gives to patients over 45 if you want it and initially I was really scared,but they told me that there's a massive amount of men who have it and don't know until they're showing more obvious signs and it's so slow to develop that a lot of old men die with it rather than of it.

Like my Mums fella, never seen that bloke worry about it for one min, he says he's living with it not dieing from it. We often sneak out for a crafty beer and he recons living with my mums worse than the cancer lol

sorry to hear about your,s coffe. on the scale they use one to ten I think I was seven, which is very active. I had 3 blood tests. then I had the star wars wand up the back doors,

which wasn't to bad.

out of the ten samples two tested positive, so hopefully that's a good sign. . next is the mri scan and lots of x rays to see if it has spread . they say it goes to the bones,? hopefully not. apparentley I meet a surgen after that and he says whats going on. they have told me removel. good luck to you, I would have pm, this but I think everyone should understand how easy it is to get tested. joe you are right what you say but it all depends on your score, two liveable,, sorry about my grammar no school

Good luck to all, Taylor cracking sense of humour. I have had the blood tests and all good , I am on a course of tablets to help stop me from pissing every 5 minutes, still up about 4 times a night though. I am going to ask the doc again for another check up as have on occasion passed the odd spot of blood, stained on me jocks.
But feck it at least I have lasted a lot longer than me Dad, he clocked out at 45 with C me Mum was only 60. I'm 67 soon, so as far as I am concerned I'm winning.

no experience of this myself but seen parents both have to battle cancers as many probably have, all the best, and always keep a positive attitude, not easy, but really does help.

Yep thats right I simple blood test to start with which is what I had at age 47, had no symptoms but because of my dad having it and leaving to spread I am taking no chances, and I will look into it but I think after two years I am due for another blood test in my books.
But when I first requested it I did some research (googled it ) as to why there is not a national screening and it was because that there is a risk of false positives which would then lead to extra tests needing to be sure which would lead to all the negative stress related problems that went with all that.

Seperatly I too did the "well man thing" for over 45s after about 3 nag letters from the gp and the final one saying we wont ask you again, so I went and yes there was a blood test but all it was for was colestrol, they could of took that chance and screend for PC.

Sorry to hear this fella. Being a fit and otherwise healthy bloke with Foccer attitude will stand you in good stead. Sure they'll fix you up as they caught it early.

Admin on another forum I'm on is doing a charity ride (pedals and hills no 1000 cc of yamaha finest). I've donated. If some of you other foccers might want to do so too - here's the link.

Whatever happened to Movember and mens health awareness spotlight, I remember last year that some BBC news peeps were sporting the top lip caterpillar but I haven't seen anything about it this year anywhere.
Maybe the BBCs PC police have issued guidelines not to do it. Probably the BBCs diversity meter gos into negative and red lights start to flash if anything to do with men and mens health is talked about. They would rather have a 1/2 hour discussion on the "tampon tax" than talk about mens health.
Maybe this should of gone in the "gets my goat section" ?

Iam with you fazersharp.mrs red is constantly going in for some sort of check up........if it wasn't for my recent man MOT , ive had none since I left school..........so, yes, were in the wrong section

Diagnosed at 66 with prostate cancer had it removed, apart from a drippy knob, I cant get it up anymore, but that is a small price for staying alive and I'm enjoying life and still biking

taylor · « **Reply #44 on:** 28 November 2015, 06:44:02 pm »

the lymph nodes have not been tested yet, acid if I end up like that I will be a happy chap, I feel like I am in a game of Russian roulette,
