Sorry to hear that Taylor.  what were the symptoms ? how did they diagnose it ? How old are you ? All the best for January. Like you say, diagnosing it early makes it very treatable so stay positive.

Rest assured that we will be here to perk you up and take the piss whenever you need it (which can be of course part of one of the symptoms)  :)

Seriously though a couple of years ago I got myself tested (blood test) at age 47 I didn't have any symptoms but it was because my Dad had this but was of a generation (WW2 veteran age ) that knew nothing about it or its symptems until it was too late for him--- we are talking about at least couple of years with the symptoms getting progressively worse until he was forced to get help. And as with lots of his generation wasnt big on going to the doctors either
It reminds me that it might just me time for me to book in for another test.

Some say that he eats habanero chilli peppers dipped in oil of capsaicin for extra bite and that his pyjamas are made from Nomex. All we know is, he's called Ad the Bad

 :agree  Wishing you all the best Taylor and we can & will pick you up (you've gotta laugh at sharpy's comment  :) ) - just shout out fella if you're ever seem low. Wales isn't a million miles away for a ride out if you fancy a blast, I'm sure loads can make it. Won't be long until you're all sorted. A lot of us are a similar age so can empathise.

It's the shock news I think we all dread.    :o  All the best with your treatment and recovery.


Let's hope your cancer is the blue type, it's much slower than most other cancers, you'll be fine!!!  :)

Well done for getting down to the doc sharpish! The fact that you've got a fit and strong body has to help your recovery. Best of luck

My Mums fella's in his early 70's and he also has prostate cancer, he also didn't visit his GP and the secondary cancer probably saved his life/ The secondary went to his hip and he fractured that when he had a small fall. Bloody stuburn bastard still wouldn't go the the docs until he could walk no longer, finally when he did they tested him for the big c and caught it, been three years now and still doing fine
Keep your pecker up
Oh and the meds he's on have caused him to grow tit's. If yours develop could we have some pictures?  :eek

Yes you've done the right thing in getting to the docs straight away, so many blokes just plod on thinking it'll be alright.
Good luck with it Taylor, it's a frightening time for you unfortunately but keep strong and I'm sure you'll beat it  :)

You've gotta be positive mate and with stories like joebloggs above where secondary has also kicked in can only make things more positive for you as you have got in there early.


I have a family member who just started chemo yesterday as they have left it later and it spread (wasnt prostate) and it us gutting that peopke have long term symptoms but do t get them checked out so well done to you for that.


Something to look up on ye olde google "benefits of olive leaf extract" i appreciate that homeopathy is controversial but give it a look and go through a few of the searches.......a healthy substance for anybody to take and even if it doesnt work then even the thought that it might is good for the mind.
Easiest way to go fast........don't buy a blue bike

A friend of mine got cancer rather young (25)  - they say it progresses faster when you're young - but managed to get rid of it. No problems for over 10 years now. It sucks, loosing hair and stuff, but it can be defeated.
Most things done in a hurry need to be done again - patiently.

It's a huge factor finding it early, so hopefully you will soon get the all clear. I wish you the very best with your battle and hope everything works out for you.
If it's broken, it's not fixed.

Wishing you all the best for a speedy recovery! Well done for sharing and raising the profile of such things. I'm 41, a bit over weight and drink more than I should. Also had a crazy itchy arse for a couple of weeks now, so I'm making a dr appointment asap :(

What's with all the good luck bullshit. Taylor will be fine, caught it early nothing to worry about. Next year he'll be out kicking everyone's ass on the road when he realises he's focin invincible

Just saying
