Alf checking in.
If I needed any evidence that I have ceased to be too bothered about my post-surgery and post-SRT situation, then it's possibly the fact that I completely forgot to post anything on HW about my latest PSA results.
I only need to have an annual test and I had the one for 2018 a couple of weeks ago. PSA still undetectable.
I'm even almost getting used to accepting my side effects. I've seen a slight improvement perhaps too regarding dribbling and BMs, but I put that down to the change of diet and loss of weight over the last year. I'm down from about 90Kg/198lbs to about 75Kg/166lbs (I'm 178cm/5ft9in).
I can't really give an accurate report as to how my curretn ED situation is, as my wife and I seem to have been so busy (and tired) that we've not actually tried to have sex. (In fact I just had to stop typing to answer the phone as it was her saying she's inundated with work at the office and it'll still be a while before she can even leave let alone get home!)

All the best
Alf

Good show mate!

You are at a good weight, I'm about 5'9" and used to weigh about 160 for 30 years but after Lupron, etc., I'm at 178 <sigh>.

Great to hear Alf

My wife is from Liverpool, though she has been here in the colonies for nearly 40 years. I asked her for an appropriate response. She says "Good one, our Alf."

Alf, GREAT to hear from you! Remember those days when we were cross-posting the day by day RT stories?

I'm on chemo these days, and very happy that you are NOT.

Thanks for the replies.
And I clearly tempted providence with my optimistic report, as I've just had three sleepless nights in a row due to my bladder thinking it wants me to empty it every hour. Plus one occasion when I woke up with a full pad having managed to wet myself as I slept which has only happened a couple of times during this journey.

Maybe try some "Friday Funnies" to change the mood:

- I made a belt out of old watches, but it just turned out to be a waist of time.

- What if April Fools does actually exist and is simply a prank!

- I've been trying to find my wife's killer for two years now, but it seems nobody wants to do the job.


Enjoy life
