Barryowen Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 Can I say a massive thank you to all those who gave me messages of support and good luck prior to my surgery last week. Apart from OWTB I got message via other comunication channels and all your thoughts helped me at a very difficultt time for me. I am told the prostate cancer surgery went well and for those who might be interested my operation took place at Stepping Hill Hospital (no jokes) who have an excellent urology dept. The surgeon there Neil Oakley was on TV recently using a new 3 D robotic arm procedure that makes recovery that liitle bit easier. That is the option I chose. I am home now but somewhat slowly down with a few tubes in sensitive places. Too much information I think !!!!!!!!! Can I also offer a little advice. My Dad had this condition and I was screened for that reason. That is probably the one good thing that everything seems to have been caught early. If you get the chance to get screened insist on that happening. A simple PSA test at the doctors will help the process. Anyhow sorry to do my usual lecturing bit but hoping to help anyone out there who might thinks they need to be checked.. This is not a cancer that always has early warning symptoms. Anyone want to speak or chat let me know. !!!!!!!!! Once again thank you to everyone who helped me and I mean everyone. I am proud to be part of the Latics family. !!! As we all know familes squabble at regular intervals but when the chips are down pull together.. That is one valuable lesson I have learned these past two weeks. Thanks Barry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OldhamSheridan Posted June 30, 2012 Share Posted June 30, 2012 (edited) PS drink water!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! its good for you as is Cranberry juice it brought dads PSA down from 1000s to 8. Still high but in control. I have to admit I drink no water, my wee is yellow at best. Is this bad? Knowing someone who has been hit by cancer, as many do, the earlier the better. Feel your own bollocks. Feel your wifes tits. Feel a lump on your leg, arm, neck, pit - then go to the Doc. The worst that will happen is he's say 'well done, it's better me saying you are alright than being dead in a couple of weeks'.
