Hi, diagnosed with bladder/prostate cancer June 21. Bladder/prostate removed and stoma inserted November 21. Spent all of 22 in and out of hospital, 13 times with sepsis, nearly died twice. Told in Jan 23 that the cancer had returned, a particularly aggressive form and I had "many months to a year to live" Because of the sepsis chemo was not an option and radiotherapy did not come into the picture. Had a nuclear blood test to see if I could have immunotherapy but apparently my kidneys would not stand it. So I was pretty much left to my own devices. In the mean time we moved to Scotland and I was having regular ct scans and seeing a consultant in oncology. Made it through 23 and decided to walk at least a kilometre every day throughout 24. Made that, covered almost 400 miles. Went to see the consultant at the beginning of January and he told me radiotherapy was now an option and I had a course of five sessions, Monday to Friday in the middle of January. Oh how I regret that radiotherapy, the after effects have really caused me problems and the consultant just seems to be brushing me off. So unhappy, so depressed, in pain and feel like I am just waiting to die
