Tuesdays will never be the same again

Well the day finally came upon us for my husbands biopsy results today .

sleepless nights & lots of anxiety & conversations have led us to today .

we were the final patient in the mornings consultants clinic at 12 noon .we already had a good idea what the diagnosis was going to be as knew that being prepared to hear

those words “it’s cancer” might make it a little softer to hear .

who are you kidding !! 

The look on my husbands face was enough for me to see the reality of what he’s just been told . 

A moderately aggressive prostate cancer G4 with  Gleason scale of 4+3 

Bone scan & CT scan next to see if there is any sign of cancer anywhere else .

Preferred route of radical surgery & radio therapy if required . 

We were given plenty of time to take in the news & ask questions . 

We then saw  cancer nurse specialist who gave us lots more Informarion to take home & read . Cancer support information & local charity support groups . 

The drive home seemed to take forever & now the next step to speak to the family . 

Tonight we sit , we talk , we cry .

i sat and said to my husband just think how many more will hear those words today , tomorrow , next week .

Tonight we pray that my husbands good insight to going along to see our GP early goes in our favour .

 

I have to be strong for my husband & the kids but I’ll not lie I’m prettified when I have moments alone .ySo cancer be prepared for a fight coz you ain’t gonna

beat our team ! !

 

 

 

 

 

 

  • Oh so sorry .. but yes I had and will never forget even though I knew... still those words grade 3 ... echoes in my ears ... everything else going over the head ... with only those words ... mastectomy,  chemo... radiotherapy ... still got in that day ...

    It was only when like you l thought, 1000s before me and 1000s will come after ... my daughter in law pulled us all together ... said well live in the day... we won't look ahead, or say "what if" well take every day and every problem as and when they come up ... and well do it together ... and we did ...

    I got a pair of vertual boxing gloves on ... and got in cancers ring ... looked it in the eye and told him he will have one tough fight on its hands ... coz cancer wants us all to buckle and bend and brake .. and most of all give up ...  well there's loads of us in that ring taking it on ... and with us all there trying to kick it's *** ... well stick two fingers up .. yes we will bend ... yes we will feel scared ... but we won't brake and won't let it change who we are ... it's not about us winning or loosing... it's about taking every day, every problem and holding on tight ... it's a rough old ride ... but you hold on in there ... wer all right by you ..

  • Good news Friday . Update on prostate cancer diagnosis 

    heard some good news to set us up for the weekend 

    husband spoke with the cancer specialist nurse this afternoon over the phone 

    results of bone scan he had on Tuesday show no cancer here 

    we are still to hear the results of his CT scan that he had on Wednesday 

     

    I’ll never forget the look on my husbands face when he told me this news this afternoon . He looked as if a huge weight had been lifted from him ️

     

    We now have more hope that this will just be surgery . 

    Sendiing positive thoughts & love to all on this forum ️

     

     

     

  • Oh so glad it's looking promising ... it's amazing how cancer doesn't like us feeling strong ... but it really helps , though it doesn't stop us feeling vulnerable at times too .. coz wer just human ... but here's to more good news ... Will keep everything crossed ... chrissie

  • Thank you dear Chrissie . We are both doing so much talking . It’s amazing also how it changes your focus & direction doesn’t it . Things we have planned for retirement may be happening now sooner .
