Hello again Chaps ( and any Chapesses watching) , OK well I did my 37 fractions of RT back in October and November of last year, it was pretty much a breeze apart from increased frequency of...
I had about a half-hour journey to the hospital. I made sure I arrived around 30 minutes early and I never drank until I got there - I even had to forgo my morning cup of tea to make sure I set out...
I remember admiring many, many examples of this man's photography over the years (ahem !) On a slightly different tack, for those of you that don't know it The Sun is a lowest-common-denominator...
Sadly I thnk inguinal hernia repairs are several factors above umbilical hernias for post-operative pain. I had a (small !) umbilical hernia repaired about four years ago, all I needed was...
Next time he asks, tell him you had sex and rode a bike at the same time - that should get him communicating ! :smhair:...
Beans or artichokes can work too - won't affect your libido but will kill hers stone dead ! John the CAMRA man...
A slightly different slant on this, if I may - I've had the same problem but for different reasons. In my case 'er indoors had the early menopause and started to lose interest in sex several years...
I'm a real ale lover and a member of CAMRA. Also I'm a keen-ish amateur photographer, so ........ John...
Steve, No problem, don't fret on my account ! John the CAMRA man...
I agree - that post looks like an obvious 419 scam, and I am very much alive to those ! I doubt the poster is even female....
Time to resurrect an ancient thread (ahem.) I've seen the Oncologist and it appears that because I'm not a suitable case for surgery,I'm not suitable for brachytherapy either. So I'll be having RT -...
I also have bladder cancer, it was discovered as a result of an ultrasound scan of the prostate which showed up bladder abnormalities too. After a cystoscopy to confirm thv presence of tumours, I had...
"Put in a prison cell when one time he coulda been the Champion of the World"......... Sorry but someone else would have if I hadn't ! :smilewinkgrin: John the CAMRA man...
Thanks Alf, I'll keep UCH in mind if I do jump ship - as you say, it's very handy indeed for Euston ! I'd need to keep a careful eye the time of day though, believe it or not a return ticket to...
Hi All, You haven't heard from me for a month or three but I'm sure you'll all be thrilled to hear I'm still around - or not, as the case may be. I went to see the Urologist again today and got some...
As a UK member, let me just say that NICE do a job which is both necessary under the NHS system and largely thankless. They have made some crass decisions in the past which were reversed after public...
I too have both, and my bladder cancer has also been superficial so far. I never had gross haematuria and no-one ever checked for the microscopic variety. I thought my urinary symptoms were caused by...
I guess these arguments must have gone on in the UK before the National Health Service came into existence in 1948. I'm glad I'm young enough not to have been a participant, but I'm also glad the...
Thank you Terry, I'll do that. I think in my case I've only ever rented beer, it never seemed to stay in there for very long ! :nono: John...
OK chaps, I have my results finally ! First the bladder stuff; the tumours were found to be low grade and non-invasive, so there's nothing to do there except to have 3-monthly cystoscopies to check...
Thank you all for your thoughts, I'll update you after I see the Consultant next week. It's strange - five years ago I had resigned myself to being told that I had PCa and I had mentally prepared...
Ah yes, trust me to forget the most obvious information ! I'm 60 in 10 day's time - and starting to feel it ! John...
Gentlemen, I'm not certain yet that I need to be here but I think it's fairly likely - I'll know for sure in a week or so. I've been lurking for some time before joining so I'm broadly familiar with...
