Hi all back in November I was diagnosed with advanced prostate cancer, my journey through this with great support from family and friends I can’t thank enough as well as all nhs staff .
Advance prostate cancer meaning cancer has spread to other parts of body my spine ribs and lungs lymph nodes and into my bones I am so very grateful for all the treatment and the extra time I’ve been given every day is special now I’m 50 yr old male worked 6 days a week to give my family a good life I worked hard as a carpenter roofer around Bristol area for the past 30 years . I did struggle mentally with diagnosis of prostate cancer at first and now it’s spread I’ve managed to deal and expectance.
Treatment chemotherapy I’ve only just started last week and have 6 cycles until end of June and I’ve been assured that all this treatment will give me more time which is great but every time I ask t question how much time do I have or to expect I just get blank look and reply we don’t know but I want to know so I can plan obviously I know my diagnosis is not the best news I’m very positive min and attitude with a great partner who keeps me going she is a diamond just wanted to say that
so that’s me and I just want to know how long or short to expect
