So glad your walk for Prostate UK went well Woody. Thank you for your wise advice about coping with scanxiety. My husband is on a similar journey, diagnosed two and a half years ago and facing PSA and scan this month. The logical part of the brain might tell you there is no point in worrying as it won't affect the result, but it's so hard not to. I find playing the ukulele with other people requires total concentration and is a good distraction. And you don't have to be very good either! Good luck on Thursday. Will be thinking of you.
Thank you, I think the ukelele is a brilliant idea I’ve just purchased an acoustic guitar so I’m going to have a go and see if it can help. I have heard others say about learning to play an instrument it’s a great thing to do to take the mind off the cancer. Best wishes to you on your journey 🙏
You said it best. Enjoying the sunshine at this moment. Best advice ever Woody. All the best with the scans. Have mine this month, as well as the Zoladex injection. Glad that medication is not bothering you. One moment at a time. Cheers mate. Regards Carl
It appears the new CT scan was a cock up as I had one just two weeks previous to this one. Reasonable news I suppose, the emergence of a new tumor but most of the rest are disappearing so in all better than the oncologist expected
Best of luck. The scanxiety can be frustrating. I'm lucky, I usually get my results through electronic portal the same day or early next day. Problem with getting them fast is I have to interpret them myself. Not always fun.
Best of luck Woody. Scanxiety is so true, when I had my scans and biopsies last year the waiting done my head in, and used a lot of energy up, and in the end they were all fine, which is what the Urologist said they would be, but, as you say, we cant help feeling negative. Stay strong, new treatments avail all the time, best of luck mate❤
I just love and am inspired by your positivity. Keep rocking, Woody ! And God bless !
Thank you kindly I'm so glad I can help people in some way, It kind of makes it more worthwhile to have this channel knowing this ❤️🙏

Thanks Carl good luck to you too on your treatment
I've see lots of encouragement in the new vaccines coming ...maybe that can lift your spirits...
Exciting prospects in the fight against Cancer, my oncologist predicted things would get better if I can stay alive long enough. 🙏
Well done Woody. I hope new CT scan goes well.

That’s amazing, I generally wait around 4 to 6 weeks for scan results. I understand how difficult it must be to interpret them
Best of luck Woody.

You too Paul, worrying ourselves half to death over something we have no control of is foolish but yet we do it 🙏
In my prayers Woody
Thanks Anthony as you are in mine 🙏
Good luck sir for your psa test plz mention the results as well ❤😊
Thank you, I will 🙏
I don't understand why you need to wait so long for some of your test results....
Neither do I . It’s a very frustrating thing I have to put up with being with the NHS
