    Hi Aliwibble, since I found out about my cancer, I have taken I tablet per night and I injection every 3 months, and my PSA score was originally 39, the cancer spread from my prostate to my bones, for the last year or so, my PSA score is now less than 0.01, that’s how it is told to me, my prognosis back 30 months ago was 3 years, which is up this Xmas, hoping there is a few more years left as I now have a grandson that I adore, so keeping my fingers crossed.

    The love for your grandson will make you strong.

    Just had my 6 monthly check up for my stage 4 prostate cancer, results came back positive, still taking one day at a time, and trying to make the most of every day, good luck to everybody.
    Stay strong 💪

    Many thanks for your thoughts and good wishes. I’m now in the Chartwell Ward at the PRU. King’s are discussing whether to close this cancer ward and transfer all in-patient haematology cancer care to Denmark Hill. There has been a strongly supported petition (now closed) objecting to the plan. I signed it a couple of months ago because of how well my late wife was treated here in 2023. Little did I know at the time I’d be needing it myself!
    For haematology cancer patients in Bromley, Beckenham, Orpington, Chislehurst etc, that need to be in hospital, and for their families and friends, the prospect of having to schlep all the way to Denmark Hill is crap. Driving there is useless because there is very little parking for such a huge hospital. It is a wonderful hospital, but the number of times I’ve had to go there by train and bus, it has never taken less than an hour.
    Anyway, rant over.
    Thanks to the excellent care I am getting here, I am feeling a bit better and my chemo treatment is ‘on hold’ for the moment. The doctor told me this morning that I have been making slow & steady progress. My blood tests still show quite a number of abnormalities, so I’m still getting 3 doses of IV antibiotics a day and other treatments. The results of my bone marrow biopsy won’t be known for a few days.
    Kent’s batters didn’t do much to cheer me up this afternoon, and I couldn’t get the match stream but maybe that’s as well.
    As ever, best wishes to other sufferers of any form of cancer and their loved ones.

    Thanks for letting us know that you're being well looked after, Peter. 

    " Slow & steady progress " sounds positive - long may it last.

    You definitely didn't miss anything from Hove this afternoon. Apart from Joe & Harry, our batting was pathetic & it sounded as though the wicket was similar to the issues at Lords ....but then the Sussex guys had little or no problem. 

    You certainly dodged one today ! 

    Stay strong x
