"How are you"? many people say.
I can't just answer::
"I have prostate cancer that has spread to other parts including bones"
Following my unexpected phone call yesterday
I was able to fill a vacant gap at hospital for a bone scan.
I knew it was scheduled but I slipped in early - really good.
So it was an injection by a beautiful human nurse -
followed by 2 hour wait before the 30 minutes scan.
It was a massive item of machinery scanning all my body from above and my sides.
My Doctor will get the 'results' letter and they copy me in.
What was terrible - we were trapped in a hospital tail-back for more than an hour. Trying to get out. There had been an accident just outside I understand.
I am so SO impressed by my every contact with the NHS.
I have hardly had cause to call on them.
A few broken ribs and twisted knee back in my Rugby League playing past!
SERVANTHOOD is the word that comes to mind about the NHS BHP's.
I feel so normal with no symptoms other than getting tired more quickly - which I put down to ageing!
But the medical tests & investigations tell us that there is something bad happening inside my human frame.
MEN NOTE:: I only mentioned to my Doctor that my urine flow was poor which triggered him to action with a blood test - then bingo - the day after I had an appointment to be informed that my PSA (prostate specific antigen) was beyond the normal limit = 4
My reading was 49.
100 UK men (especially older men) are diagnosed with Prostate Cancer every day - get yourself checked early.
For me going forward::
*I need stay fit with exercise & continuing healthy eating.
*Start the hormone injections to hold back the cancer.
*Continue to cultivate positive thinking - NOT allowing negative feeling to manage my life.
*Hope and Pray.
*Being honest with myself and with you.
