As you know, I have been on the morphine for a few weeks, and I have not been posting very much, however over the last few days, at my choice, I have weened myself of it so I am a bit more with it... I am on different pain killers, milder and less often, but I have my first meeting with the oncologist on Monday, following my recent CT scan, to see how far the cancer has spread.
Not looking forward to that.
It's only fair to mention to those who are unaware, but I have recently been diagnosed with advanced prostate cancer, which has spread to lower organs and lymph glands and possibly the bones, the CT scan will show where else the cancer has spread to.
I have had hormone treatment which is supposed to shrink the cancer, and slow the progress.

Only 9 months ago I was tested for PSA, the levels were low, even though my prostate was checked and shown as enlarged... so all this has happened very quickly. I couldn't have done more...
So guys, if you are getting up a lot at night, and have urgency, and sometimes dribble, or can't start easily... Get your self checked out...
It is not a condition that you must accept as you get older.
Prostates do enlarge, most are benign, some are slow cancerous ones, and the GPs tend to just monitor the condition... So be persistant... I thought I was...

Rustic, mate, I'm devastated for you . I've been really busy of late and not on here much and consequently totally unaware of your state. Bugger !!
I can only suggest PMA and apply joie de vie as long as you bloody well can.
I had the old finger of fudge test earlier this year. I too was told I have an enlarge prostate but levels are normal
I'll be knocking at Dr Do-little's door again on Monday .
Stay well, live long

You are all a brilliant group of people on here, there are things in life that you need to discuss personal things with, sometimes family is just too close, if you know what I mean.
Close friends are important, and that's what you all are.
Thank you for the support, from a personal point of view, that is very important at this time.
I am a fighter, my wife is brilliant and very supportive.

If my recent post just makes a few of you guys take stock of your own health and get yourselves checked out NOW, then I think the effort has been worth it.
I didn't particularly want to burden the forum with my problem, as only a few knew what was happening, but if I can stop this happening to others...

Thanks all of you again for your support.
Very best regards,
Richard (Uncle Rustic) ..

Rustic,
Friends are never really a burden, they should be able to tell us the things we may sometimes choose to ignore (at our peril!).
So, be strong, be supported by your mates everywhere, be loved by your family........and damnwell keep going......we all need you.......
