Prostate Cancer ADVANCED 035

Sunday 15th October 2017. By rights I should not be here. My consultant gave me approx six months, around March!

Today, my son (Brian 41) sent me a text message informing me that he has been to have his prostate gland checked by his GP and all is well. That's a massive relief for all of the family.

About a week ago me and Julie were sitting down weeding our lock-block driveway. I was surprised that I could get that far down. But we got the job done over two days. On day three my left hip and thigh were absolutely 'stoonin' with pain and I could barely walk. A few days later we attended a concert in Glasgow. A friend of ours (Richard) drove us down and back. The concert was two and a half hours long, but I sat through it quite comfortably. Since that day the pain has dropped considerably, but I have to be really careful getting up out of seats and my initial few steps. Tomorrow, we go to my GP to see about a steppy up in my pain relief. I feel incredibly lucky to still be here and I'm cheekily looking forward to Christmas.

As from 17th October 2017, my medication includes 50mg Diclofenac Sodium three times a day.
