Hi Eddie,

I do hope you are having a lovely time away and seeing the new addition to your family how lovely. I bet she is gorgeous. I also hope your treatment goes well, I will be thinking of you.

I have had a better day today think I was just feeling very anxious yesterday my mind was thinking the worst, I woke this morning and felt more positive. I’m sure we will have our ups and downs. 

on a different note my grandmother came from North Yorkshire Kilburn. She had connections with Robert Mouseman Thompson. I’m originally from Gateshead, but have lived in Cambridgeshire for many years now.

Thank you for your kindness and support. I will keep you posted with Len’s results. You enjoy your holiday and all the very best for your treatment. Take care.

Hi Jan, and thank you, the new addition to the family is twins, both girls and utterly gorgeous, and that's lovely to hear your feeling better today, and ups and downs are to be expected, and its good to know you have some Yorkshire connections, my family are from Oban in Scotland, but I live with my partner of 17 years in Bessacarr, a village south of Doncaster, and we have a local church in a village nearby called  Barnby Dunn, who's interior is filled with Mouseman items, and my partner Sheila's favourite place is Cambridge, it's a small world, bedtime for me as it's a long day traveling home tomorrow, sleep well.

Hi Eddie,

Hope your treatment went well and you are feeling well, also I hope you enjoyed the rest of your holiday.

well we have finally received Len’s results. 
This was a telephone conversation with the oncologist. This is what he said. The biopsy showed evidence of prostate cancer, he will need treatment radiotherapy or removal of the prostate. Both scans have shown no evidence of spreading. His Gleason score is 3+4 so a 7. 

we have not received this in writing as yet. Len has an appointment this coming Monday 7th for an MRI scan of the prostate. We are both feeling more at ease just would like to see this in writing.

i have started a diary of  Len’s  journey.  The oncologist also said his psa at last reading was 35. So down a fraction from the first one.

well, Eddie I wish you all the very best and would like to thank you again for your friendly chats and support at a very difficult time. I will still send updates of treatment and progress. I think it’s going to be hard deciding what treatment to take, the hospital is going to send information over to us to help with a decision.

take care Eddie.

best wishes 

Jan
