Cancer Treatment

In November 2016, we started this blog after John was diagnosed with advanced Metastatic Prostate Cancer. It was initially meant to keep our friends and family up to date with John's latest health news. However with his continued good health, it has now turned into more of a travel blog since he took early retirement in 2017. We will continue to update it regularly with our latest travels and any other news. We hope you find it an interesting read. Thank you for all of your support and good wishes.

Today’s third chemo session went well with no delays or hitches. This week’s blood test results show the PSA level has come down to 1.88 which is great news.
So what do you do for 3 hours on a sunny day when having chemo….?
…..get carried away with the seed catalogue and order!

Cancer diagnosis

In September 2016, I made a rare appointment to see a GP after having a couple of dizzy spells in the summer, and was generally feeling a bit tired. As my sister and brother both have diabetes it seemed sensible to mention this to the GP. A blood test was carried out which revealed a high PSA level. After several somewhat intimate examinations I was sent for a prostate biopsy, which came back as positive for prostate cancer.
After further tests including an MRI, CT and bone scans, I have now been diagnosed with metastatic prostate cancer and have started treatment in an attempt to manage the disease.
