Cancer X 2 (Base Tongue & Prostate)

Hi..In 2008 I was diagnosed T3 N2 Base Tongue Cancer of which I remain in remission. I still attend 6 monthly appointments to monitor my healing. I have written ectensively about this Cancer in my book 'Cancer My Personal Story' (All proceeds go to Cancer research) ...Following a triple heart By-Pass in 2014, I was recently diagnosed with Prostate Cancer T3 with a Gleason Score of 9... My body and I guess my mind, is considerably weakened by these illnesses, I have therefore decided not to fight this latest event with Hormones or Radiotherapy. I am more than willing to share my experiences with anyone who feels that sharing would be of benefit.

    Thank you..although yes..I am in renission from the 1st Cancer, I have since been diagnosed with T3 Prostate Cancer with a Gleason Score of 9. One year ago my consultant gave me 2 to 3 years. I have come to terms with this, I am so tired of fighting, as inbetween the Cancer's I had a triple Heart By-Pass. If you are able to read my book, then you will see what a fight that was. Thank you once again for your words. John
