Happy Valentines' Day

Hi everyone, yes it is Valentines Day, this is my FIRST post as I have only joined this message board. My new resolution is to keep up the enthusiasm to contribute. For the past two years I have been receiving treatment for prostate cancer. I have remained upbeat about this but in the day centre I have not had much opportunity except occasionally to chat with a fellow surviver. These last two years I have been busy doing study, I am a general nurse and now when I go for treatment I am so to speak on the other side of the bed. Anyway, I know there are many people who must read these blogs. Just reading or listening is a gift in itself. I love writing, chatting, sharing things. I am not on any other blog as I want to give time to this site. Well if anyone wants to ask any questions or share some thoughts please do. Like tonight I am sitting in with my wife waiting to watch the Late Late show - I believe all about singles. Any way it is something to do together. I am on hormone therapy so not much happening in that department, nudge, nudge. If you are alone tonight and feeling blue well cheer up - there is always something really good around the corner. Good night.

Hi Brian

Thank you for your post. That was so nice of you. I am wondering if you are more in pain than you have said. Some times we hide things that we do not want other people to know. Please keep calm and talk about things. Two years is a long time to be going through treatment.

Keep well ...Andrene
