Keep on mate. I know the feeling. 20+ years ago I had breast cancer and the emotions were the same. Mastectomy and survived. That year had 2 sets of stents. prostate rebore. Thought the world would end but still here and kicking. Edited 22-Aug-24 22:12pm

Thank you all ! Surgery went as well as I could hope for.No surprise is good surprise huh.Your thoughts and comments really did make a difference.Sometimes it gets to be very hard indeed to stay positive amid all the bad news,hate,mean people and unbelievably unfair way life treats us all .Take it from me,a guy who was on the edge of just giving up you all brought me back if any of you need my help,I'll be there....thank you

We all been through it you must stay positive. When I was going through with my health and the drugs was hard on my body . I go to church and have a one and one conversations with the man upstairs and do lots of walks which I still do today that was 30yrs ago. My thoughts and preys are with you.

I recently had bowel and lung cancer followed by heart problems and then chemo. You can see this through, it takes lots of will power and acceptance of help where you need it. Run a diary of all your experiences. Your doctors will thank you for it and it will give you something to concentrate on. You WILL come out the other side.

  dear Mary thank you for your concern. I'm doing ok but frequent scans, blood tests etc to catch it if it comes back. You might think this is strange, but Grommie knew I was unwell. He acted strangely., he was shy around me. As soon as the chemo was over we were best friends again.Edited 21-Aug-24 13:20pm

  It was and first time in a hospital since I was born.....I had no idea what to expect. I was staggered that 2 surgeries were totally pain free afterwards. lots of pills of course. The chemo experience I wouldn't wish on my worst enemy.

  I'm amazed too pain free post op. Chemo ,never good news week ,I had a young friend who went through lymphoma non Hodgkin's. He's fine now too ,all treated after 6 month's but I do wish they'd hurry up with some other options.... Cures!! I did hear a patch for mouth ulcers instead of the old lignocaine gels is now out, so one good thing .... Edited 21-Aug-24 16:33pm

  Thanks Robert yes he was only 19 and found out at stage 3 . Pretty well very lucky it's one once treated it's done with. But very hard to diagnose so he'd been having a lot of different symptoms prior. He's doing well now thankfully. :)

Hi Carl here's hoping the surgery went well yesterday, hang in there and try to stay positive, hopefully it's a good outcome. My husband has had various surgeries in the past 3 years and 6 weeks radiation after being diagnosed with head & neck cancer. He wouldn't be here today if he wasn't operated on that's for sure. But he's been a trooper through it all and his positivity is great. He's 50 now still has regular CT and PET scans. The team will look after you, wishing you all the best Carl 👍

My husband has prostate cancer since 2002. He did radiation, it failed but backed it off significantly. Now he is on the lupron shots. We are sending prayers of healing.

Of course Carl; a few prayers already prayed. I can imagine how you are feeling. There have been great advancements in the treatment of all cancers in recent years. Now down to the practicalities, eat broccoli everyday, get rid of all sugar from your diet and have a bit of bicarbonate of soda in a glass of water each day. I am not a doctor but these are things that I have picked up over the years. All the best Carl.

I'm from an earlier generation Carl and some of my male friends have been in the same situation as you. Most of them have found that the skill of our surgeons these days and the after care mean that life DOES return to normal. Some of us here will I'm sure send some thoughts upwards on your behalf. Just keep thinking positively!

Stay Positive Carl. That is what I did when I was diagnosed with a Stage 4 Melanoma - I joked about it whilst everyone else was carrying on.....lucky for me - no radiation, no chemo .......

Hi Carl , well that's not good to hear . I'm sorry I'm not a religious type for you , but think positively. You've got surgery which is a good thing ,, they haven't said we can't do anything for you. I'm not sure if you're in Aus or where but there's many new treatments available and coming for all types of cancers. I hope they look after you well in house tomorrow and I wish for you all the best of luck that they get it sorted for you in one main go. You are young as well which is also something to be positive about ,you have a much better chance than being in your 70s or 80s . You're allowed to be tired so rest up while you can ,but once the op is over with and results done , you'll be able to work out your fight plan with the docs . You may just have a better result than you're imagining right now :) I'm keeping all crossed for a great outcome 🤎
