Prostate problems

[Ivan Cloherty]

, I get $650 from the gov every year for my problem.

Ah! well! that should be enough to buy enough Fosters to make you prostrate on the ground and bring back memories of other places you've been prostrate on the ground

It's five years since I was put on an NHS trial. The prostate cancer was targeted with 7 high level doses of radiation intead of the usual 37 doses of low level. PSA is now hardly detectable at 0.03 and the trial team consider me in the clear but will monitor for the rest of my days.
I find doctors inconsistent. After the finger inspection 5 years ago, he told me I would die of something else. I saw his wife next, and told her what her other half had said. 'Is that so?' was her response - 'We'll see about that!' She sent me for biopsy, whereupon the specialist announced - if we'd not found this it would have escaped from the gland within the year.

Harry.
I had the month worth of Radiation, no problems except for getting tired towards the end of it. And one great fright when I saw my specialist who had a NZ woman Dr with him who wanted to do the finger thingy, I nearly fainted when I saw he nails, looked like sabres, but the she showed me the one she was going to use, nail cut, lucky me.

Fact is more men die from Prostate cancer than women from breast Cancer.
The ladies are told to get a Mamogram on a regular basis, but there is little info for the men.
Maybe if they were better informed many may not have to spend all night in the bloody loo.

Thanks Marion for that.
I think the figures may vary from country to country, I know the figures in Oz show more deaths from Prostate than Breast.
But each country has at time different ways of calculating figures.
But no matter which I know both are not nice, mum dies from hers and my brother and I both had the Prostate.

But getting up in the middle of the night does give you a chance to stretch your legs.LOL
