Prognosis confirmed 14 days after biopsy, and I've certainly learned a plethora of pertinent information within that short span of time. Plus, I've already established my personal support team. Typically I don't waste time on anything. I just do it. And if I make a mistake, I don't hesitate, as I will fix it along the way. Life is too short to be inefficient.
I've been referred onto an Oncologist (cancer doctor)
I'm not afraid. More so, I'm curious. I've a lot of faith in modern medicine

Movember (a portmanteau from the Australian-English diminutive word for "moustache", "mo", and "November") is an annual event involving the growing of moustaches during the month of November to raise awareness of men's health issues, such as prostate cancer and other male cancers, and associated charities. The Movember Foundation runs the Movember charity event, housed at Movember.com. The goal of Movember is to "change the face of men's health."
By encouraging men (who the charity refers to as "Mo Bros") to get involved, Movember aims to increase early cancer detection, diagnosis and effective treatments, and ultimately reduce the number of preventable deaths. Besides annual check-ups, the Movember Foundation encourages men to be aware of family history of cancer and to adopt a healthier lifestyle.
Since 2004, the Movember Foundation charity has run Movember events to raise awareness and funds for men's health issues, such as prostate cancer and depression, in Australia and New Zealand. In 2007, events were launched in Ireland, Canada, Czech Republic, Denmark, El Salvador, Spain, the United Kingdom, Israel, South Africa, Taiwan and the United States. As of 2011, Canadians were the largest contributors to the Movember charities of any nation. In 2010, Movember merged with the testicular cancer event Tacheback.
In 2012, the Global Journal listed Movember as one of the world's top 100 NGOs (non-government organization).
Portuguese
Novembro Azul (Movember) é uma campanha de conscientização realizada por diversas entidades no mês de novembro dirigida a sociedade e aos homens sobre a importância da prevenção e do diagnóstico precoce do câncer de próstata e outras doenças masculinas.
Em vários países, o Movember é mais do que uma simples campanha de conscientização. Há reuniões entre os homens com o cultivo de bigodes (ao estilo Mario Bros), símbolo da campanha, onde são debatidos, além do câncer de próstata, outras doenças como o câncer de testículos, depressão masculina, cultivo da saúde do homem, entre outros.
O movimento surgiu na Austrália, em 2003, aproveitando as comemorações do Dia Mundial de Combate ao Câncer de Próstata, realizado a 17 de novembro.
Na verdade, novembro azul é mais tradicionalmente dedicado ao diabetes mellitus. Em 14 de Novembro, data do nascimento do Dr. Banting, descobridor da insulina, comemora-se o dia mundial do diabetes (a data foi instituída pela Federação Internacional de Diabetes - IDF e pela Organização Mundial da Saúde (OMS) desde 1991, e conta com o reconhecimento e apoio da Organização das Nações Unidas (ONU), que em dezembro de 2006 assinou uma Resolução reconhecendo o diabetes como uma doença crônica e de alto custo mundial), e no mundo inteiro, ações são desenvolvidas para que o diabetes seja mais divulgado, seus modos de prevenção, diagnostico precoce e manejos. Em muitos locais do mundo, instituições são iluminadas de azul, caminhadas são propostas, ações em ruas movimentadas, etc.
Há também o agosto azul, mês dedicado à prevenção das causas gerais de mortes masculinas, incluindo a violência urbana com mortes por armas de fogo e armas brancas, mortes no trânsito, câncer de próstata, etc, mas sem menção ao diabetes. Portanto, classicamente, novembro azul é o movimento mundial para o diabetes. a IDF- Federação Internacional de Diabetes estima que haverão 410 milhões de diabéticos em 2025, hoje há mais de 230 milhões de diabéticos, uma doença que traz inúmeras complicações, mortes cardiovasculares, incapacitações e amputações, cegueira, etc.

Morning walk through Astoria. It felt good. Though I cannot go too far, as my feet and ankles are still afflicted with neuropathy (my feet are both numb and swollen; my ankles swollen). Strange shit. This a direct side effect from the Kemosabe Liquid Sunshine. My last cycle was on October 2nd. And the healing will just take time and I am just going to have to be patient. I've no other choice. Morning's are the best time for short walks. And I just have to stick with them, as I am confident that in time they will help.

Well worth the trip to Toronto, this conference updated a wide range of topics relevant to men's health. Major advances are taking place in the medical world, and in particular, issues affecting men including the successful treatment of advanced prostate cancer. Affecting 1 in 7 men during their lifetime, prostate CA is now ranked first in Canada for overall death due to cancer, closely followed by lung and colorectal CA. The average life expectancy for advanced disease has gone from 2 to 7 years. Bravo to the worldclass University of Toronto department of Urology putting together an impressive series of lectures and also being at the forefront of many recent advances.
NHGRI researchers and their collaborators have identified a specific genomic signature of some aggressive prostate tumors, which may help pinpoint specific treatment options. Findings from the study were published April 15 online in The American Journal of Human Genetics. The new finding focuses on BRCA2 mutations, which are associated with breast and ovarian cancer, but also increase men's risk for prostate cancer. Both men and women can inherit a faulty BRCA2 gene from either their mother or father. When working properly, the BRCA2 gene helps stop cells from becoming cancerous by producing proteins that fix damage to DNA.

Cancer 1
Outside in the car park
The sky grey, spitting, stark.
Time it passes so slow:
20 minutes to go.
The traffic heavy on the main road,
The clouds darken, dropping their load.
Rain splatters the windscreen:
15 minutes to go.
What will she say to me?
Not too long now: wait and see.
Good? Bad? Definitive?
Absolute? Provisional? Tentative?
8 minutes to go.
I'm ready to hear my fate:
The state of my prostate.
5 minutes to go.
I face the wind and rain.
There will be no surpise or pain.
There's a history of cancer in my kin,
And a history of cancer within.
3 minutes to go.
It will not be a hammer blow.
1 minute to go:
Time no longer passes so slow.
Cancer 3
Main waiting area and
The appointment time nears.
Is this where it happens?
The confirmation of my fears?
Name called: mispronounced,
Weight taken, slightly shaking.
I’m now in waiting room C
And succumb to wanting to pee,
But I’ll hold it in and wait and see.
The nurses chattering and talking,
The corridors echo to the sound of walking,
Is there a cancer beavering away
As dark and quiet as a funeral day?
But whatever the outcome I will fight
And laugh and love and dance;
Embrace the dark and turn
That corrosive darkness into light.
Cancer 4
So now I know.
But the light still glows,
And it will burn brighter
As I determine to fight her.
Cancer 1 was written in October 2010 as I waited to hear my PSA score. It was too high. 6.9. So I was referred to a specialist. A biopsy of my prostate was suggested. Cancer 3 was written as I waited to see the consultant and hear the results of the biopsy. Cancer 4 was written as I sat in my car following hearing the results of the biopsy: that I had prostate cancer. A Gleason score of 6 and T1 tumour. 5% of the sample was "abnormal". That was in late December 2010. An early unwanted Christmas present. The picture itself was taken a few months later, as I waited to see my surgeon, when my PSA almost doubled to 11.5. it is back down to 6.9 almost year on from my intial PSA. I'm following a regime of active surveillance. Following the 11.5 PSA I was "re-staged" and opted for a transperineal biopsy. That will happen late September 2011. My aim is to go through 2011 without radical prostatectomy or radiation therapy. Almost there.
24/10/11 Perhaps I wrote too soon. My biopsy results show that my cancer is more severe than the initial biopsy results suggested. My Gleason score is now 7, with a third of the biopsy samples showing abnormal cells. Currative treatment is now needed. Which form that takes I find out on Thursday.
19/11/11 I'm now having treatment for my prostate cancer. Hormone therapy, which will last for at least 6 months, and during the second half of that treatment, I will receive radiotherapy 5 days a week.
10/12/11
The hormone therapy is kicking in:
leaving me shrivelled, drying my skin.
I'm wasted, but don't drop me in the bin.
A drug induced male menopause,
with sexless thoughts I have to change the laws
and fight my corner and my cause.
A beautiful phrase, a kind word or a sad song
and tears flow down, hard and long,
but my love keeps me positive, happy, strong.
Things aren't going smooth, unfortunately,
I need a TURP before radiotherapy
To help my flow, to ease my pee
I can't say what the consequences will be
I'm going to have to just wait and see
hoping that we can smile when I am free
as we look back drinking our green tea.
The TURP (transurethral resection of the prostate) is scheduled for 20th December 2011.

Hola! It’s that time again, another challenge, so get your hands in those pockets and donate some cash! After a few years on the couch I thought it’s about time I did something worthwhile, productive and healthy… and here it is: The Great Tour.
On 3rd July 2010 an intrepid band of cyclists drawn from the worlds of sport, celebrity, charity, politics, science and the arts will gather in Seaton, Devon, to embark on one the Britain’s last great sporting challenges – to circumnavigate the coast by bicycle. Keeping the sea to their right for 64 days the riders will never lose the sight, smell or sound of the sea during their epic 6600km pedal for charity.
The ride will be hosted by well known athletes who will be joined by a wide variety of guests and charity riders to create a colourful and inspirational sporting celebration of the British coastline.
I was lucky enough to win a place on the tour cycling for seven days from Morecambe (Up North) to Aberdovey (Mid West Wales). Cycling or walking the Welsh Coast line has always been one of my plans, so I thought instead of stopping after a week in West Wales I may as well carry on with the Tour and cycle the Welsh coastline in its entirety. It would probably be faster than public transport anyhow…
So I personally will be cycling for fourteen days around the Welsh coastline, averaging a hundred kilometres a day bringing the total distance to almost 1500 kilometres. I will be starting in Morecambe on Saturday 14th August and cycling down and into Wales two days later, I will then be cycling around the coast of Wales arriving at the Welsh/English border on the evening of the 27th August. The Welsh coastline is very hilly, and it could be very hot in August…
For the ride I will be raising money for The Prostate Cancer Charity. Prostate Cancer is the most common Male cancer in the UK, so please dig deep and donate whatever you can afford. Virgin Money Giving is a not for profit organisation and will claim gift aid on a charity's behalf where the donor is eligible for this. You can donate easily and securely by clicking 'Donate now' on the right of this page, so get clicking and leave a message or some abuse.
More information about the Great Tour can be found here:
Thanks again, and see you in Cardiff on the 27th August for the Hero’s return… Beers on me (probably).
Big Love! G
Women who are at increased risk for inherited breast cancer, face long term challenges they in managing their care. A woman carrying BRCA1 and BRCA2 (BRCA1/BRCA2) mutations has a significant probability of developing breast or ovarian cancer (as high as 75 percent) and these mutations account for 20 to 25 percent of all inherited breast cancers.

He's a seven year prostate cancer survivor. I went with him to see his oncology...dad remains in remission. Tomorrow he turns 93 years old.
Several sales "associates" are having a chat about something or other around a fundraising table for some kind of prostate cancer charity. (Good for Wal-Mart; prostate cancer is just as deadly as breast cancer but gets short shrift in mainstream public awareness.)
There's also the entrance to the in-store McDonald's.
Each year, Movember, the month formerly known as November, is responsible for the sprouting of moustaches on thousands of men’s faces around the world, with the sole aim of raising vital funds and awareness for men’s health, specifically prostate cancer. Men sporting Movember moustaches, known as Mo Bros, become walking, talking billboards for the 30 days of November and through their actions and words raise awareness by prompting private and public conversation around the often ignored issue of men’s health.

New findings on prostate cancer may enable doctors to make better diagnoses and prognoses for patients and provide novel directions for therapies, according to a new study from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) Network. Most prostate cancers are detected early while still confined to the prostate, a walnut-sized gland located below the bladder. While most cases remain harmless - benign - for decades, other subtypes of prostate cancers can be aggressive, and spread to other parts of the body (metastasize), making them extremely difficult to treat. It is currently difficult for healthcare providers to distinguish which cancers will remain harmless and which will metastasize.

HIS…. Drinking five or more cups of green tea a day may reduce the risk of developing advanced prostate cancer.
HER….Green tea has many health benefits, one particular effect that green tea seems to fight or prevent breast cancer too.
Time for you folk to dig in your wallets. This is Movember..... the month where chaps start clean shaven & grow a moustache throughout November in support of Prostate Cancer. (Donate here)
Only a few days growth so far.... i.e. too embarassing to display. Not entirely sure I will make it through the month - still job searching & not sure a half grown moustache is the right impression to take into a job interview, but will see how it goes.
TRP - Cliché Saturday
(Cliché.... Moustaches of course, plus this is a copycat of Daynna's wonderful shot, of which I have seen many copycats already - which must make it cliché material)
TOTW - Vote for me (with your wallet)

Only just named and repainted in black livery to raise the awareness of Prostate Cancer in the UK, GBRf 66769 'LMA League Managers Association' / 'Paul Taylor Our Inspiration' passes Hatton North Junction with the 4M19 Southampton Western Docks - East Midlands Gateway modal.
Today I am grateful for peoples generosity.
This Movember I'm officially committing to raising awareness about men's health to support the men in my life.
At the beginning of the month all the men at my work decided to get involved with the Movember cause. They will be growing their moustaches for the whole month and our boss is generously sponsoring them $5 a day for the whole month plus he is also putting 10% of proceeds of one of the clearance sales towards it.
At the moment I feel like Ive stepped back into the 70s-80s with all the mo growth at the office.
Close to 3,300 men die of prostate cancer in Australia each year and one in eight men will experience depression in their lifetime. Many of these men do not seek help.
Through the Movember Foundation and its men's health partners, PCFA and beyondblue: the national depression initiative, Movember is funding world class research, educational and support programs which would otherwise not be possible.

mustaches for Movember (Prostate Cancer Foundation, LiveStrong); US Coast Guard Station Merrimack River
Jack was able to grow a very nice little mustache for this year's Movember.

Remember guys your health is important, It doesn't mean you are any less of a man if you have pain or whatever to go see a health care provider. Get an annual check-up. Your body, boyfriend, girlfriend, partner, husband, wife, parent will thank you!
First Leicester's 33506 carries external adverts for Prost Aid, a charity which aims to raise awareness of prostate cancer. Better than buses carrying ads for some nonsensical, flash in the pan, American comedy film. As a consequence of the adverts, First have allowed the bus to go out and visit various locations and be used as a base for people with concerns to talk about the condition. It's a good thing to see and shows an almost human side to a large organization which, at times, I often think struggles to effectively communicate with people. Bizarre as the bus industry is pretty much totally people based.

Frogmen from across the Fleet Diving Squadron leapt into Horsea Lake in Portsmouth for Charity. Picture: L(Phot) Sean Gascoigne
NAVY divers plan a gruelling six-hour physical challenge in and out of the water to raise awareness of prostate cancer.
Some 40 frogmen from across the Fleet Diving Squadron will leap into Horsea Lake in Portsmouth – their main training pool – from a 7.5m diving board, use their fins to propel them for 100 metres on the surface, then clamber out of the water, remove the fins and run 400 metres.
And they’ll repeat it 25 times. Each. So that’s 2½ kilometres in the water and the equivalent of a 10km run per diver – or 100km swim and 400km on foot in total.
Three circuits, as they are known, are a mainstay of training at the diving squadron’s headquarters near Port Solent.
The team reckon they can complete their super-circuit challenge on August 31 inside six hours.
“It’s less about raising money – although we’ll gladly take donations – the real aim is to raise awareness of prostate cancer,” said Leading Diver Lewis ‘Soapy’ Watson.
“Three circuits alone are gruelling. To do 25, that really is going to be tough.”
The challenge begins at 9am, with each diver reckoning they can complete their individual dive-swim-run in about three hours.

What are the colors of your life?
Prostate Cancer is the most common cancer among men, excluding skin cancer. It is the third leading cause of cancer death in men. The American Cancer Society estimates that about 235,000 new cases of Prostate Cancer will occur this year. However, Prostate Cancer can be treated effectively if it is caught in the early stages.
How much you know about Prostate Cancer detection? The following information explains what Prostate Cancer is and how to recognize early warning signs
The prostate gland is about the size of a walnut and is located below the bladder and in front of the rectum. Tumors found in the prostate gland may be benign, or noncancerous, or they may be malignant, or cancerous. Benign tumors can usually be removed, seldom come back, and are not life-threatening. Tumors that are malignant are usually slow-growing, and mostly affect men over age 65. The cancer cells can break away from a malignant tumor and enter the bloodstream, causing the cancer to spread.
In general, all men are at risk for Prostate Cancer. A risk factor is anything that increases a person’s chance of developing a disease. However, having a risk factor does not mean you will get the disease. Some risk factors that cannot be changed are race, genetics, family history, and aging. Other risk factors that can be changed are diet, obesity, and having a vasectomy.
Some men with risk factors never develop Prostate Cancer, while some men without apparent risk factors develop the disease. The Prostate Cancer incidence is higher for African-American men than for any other racial or ethnic group, and conversely, Asian-Pacific Islanders have relatively low rates of Prostate Cancer.
Symptoms Linked To Prostate Cancer Are:
* Frequent urination
* Inability to urinate
* Painful or Burning Urination
* Blood in the urine or semen
* Pain in the lower pelvic area
* Difficulty having an erection
* Having a painful ejaculation
* Frequent pain or stiffness in the lower back, hips, or upper thighs
* Unexplained Weight Loss
A man who has these symptoms should see a physician immediately. Any of these symptoms could be caused by Prostate Cancer or by a benign condition, such as a bladder or urinary tract infection or BPH - Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia, a condition where the prostate becomes enlarged - aka: Enlarged Prostate.
Screening for Prostate Cancer usually includes two tests, a blood test for PSA:Prostate-Specific Antigen and a DRE: Digital Rectal Exam.
* A PSA test is sent to the lab to measure for levels of PSA in the blood, which usually is elevated in men with Prostate Cancer (but, sometimes elevated in BPH or infection as well).
* The DRE is a test in which a physician inserts a lubricated, gloved finger into the rectum and feels the prostate through the rectal wall.
Testing for Prostate Cancer may include transrectal ultrasound (TRUS uses sound waves to create an image to visually inspect for abnormal conditions) or computed tomography (CT scan uses a combination of x-rays and computer technology to produce cross-sectional images).
When any of these tests indicate that cancer may be present, a biopsy will be required. A biopsy is a procedure in which tissue samples are removed surgically from the Prostate Gland to determine if cancer cells are present.
Cancer Research continues to add valuable information to the understanding of Prostate Cancer.
* Health experts are looking for new ways to prevent Prostate Cancer, but they are not in agreement on the risks for developing the disease.
* The American Cancer Society recommends that men eat a diet high in plant sources (tomatoes, pink grapefruit, and watermelon) and low in red meat (high-fat and processed).
* A study at the National Cancer Institute is looking at selenium and Vitamin E supplementation as a prevention measure.
* Because obesity is a risk factor, experts recommend exercise to lower the risk of Prostate Cancer.
* Prostate Cancer is often found confined to the prostate gland or regional area, and the majority of patients with this type of cancer can live for years with no problems.
* With early detection and improved treatment, the five-year survival rate for Prostate Cancer found in a local or regional state is 100 percent.
* Over the past 20 years, the five-year survival rate for all stages has increased from 67 percent to 98 percent.
Incorporate your knowledge regarding Prostate Cancer prevention and detection into a healthy lifestyle.
Become knowledgeable about Prostate Cancer risk factors that may apply to you, and take appropriate actions including changing behaviors and being clinically monitored for the disease. Experts recommend that you contact your physician to develop a plan for Prostate Cancer screening based on your personal profile.
