Blog no 50 A half century of thoughts from a cancer patient
Hi, it’s been a good couple of days since my last blog I feel good I feel positive and have got my Mojo back now.
Can’t believe it’s the 50th blog I’ve written since this adventure started , I feel I should throw a party I’ll ask no10 of course if it’s allowed, just a few drinks and some cheese and nibbles. Maybe a cake too , could even invite poor old Boris over he looks like he could do with a party whilst it’s still allowed. 
I decided to come out on Facebook about my cancer so that I can now raise awareness about prostate cancer which affects 1 in 8 men, but if it’s caught early it can be controlled.
So that is my mission, to raise awareness and money for prostate cancer research.
Great start to this campaign to raise awareness and money.
My walk to Lapland is now 4% complete and I found out that Finland has 188000 lakes I’m hoping not to fall in one on my virtual journey to Lapland from Helsinki, unfortunately there is no street view on Google to show my current location but some facts about Finland for you.
Walking is becoming my hobby it’s a real life saver because it has given me something to motivate me and get off my arse and get some exercise both of the body and the mind.🚶🚶♂️🚶♀️
I feel great when I’m walking , I feel free and I feel this at the moment cancer can’t stop me from enjoying my walks. I’m so blessed to live where I do as im discovering different places all the time to go for walks, it’s fantastic to have these places very close to my house. I know I have to take it easy but once I start walking I don’t want to stop, my target is 4000 steps a day, but currently I’m nearly doubling that. I also feel a lot fitter both in mind and body, it’s all very positive.🙏❤️
Today I went for another walk with my friend Ed I loved every minute of it Ed and can’t wait for the next one. 🎩
I’ve also had people message me to ask if they can join me on my walks for charity , I’m honoured that people want to walk with me, I truly am ❤️
The new hormone tablets seem to be so far really kind to me with very little side effects, I’ve been warned that this drug can be quite nasty but so far it’s been good and for that I’m really grateful because it helps so much in many ways.☀️😃
I’ve had another PSA test again this morning, so really hoping that between the hormone tablets and the injections it will bring it back down ago. I also have a consultation on Friday at the hospital to discuss the biopsy and the results from that. Hoping the universe has got my back with both of these things that are incredibly important to me at the moment, I feel both results will be positive, I don’t know why but something is telling me I’m going to get good news it’s just a feeling but it’s a strong one.🙏❤️
I’ve just bought a book on Kindle called Radical Remissions it’s fascinating and I’m hooked from page one. The book tells the story about a councillor who had across a story about a man who had stage 4 lung cancer and was sent home from the hospital to die because there was nothing the hospital could do for him anymore. Miraculously he went home and completly recovered from his lung cancer and no one can understand why. She was so amazed she decided to do some research hoping to find one or two cases but instead was shocked to find over 1500 clinically documented cases of what she called Radical remission of stage 4 cancer patients that just healed themselves some how. She then went on a journey to find out how and what these people had in common by interviewing them.
This book gives me hope , I’m only at the beginning, but I’ve already said if one person can beat the odds then so can I, to find out today that over 1500 of them have beaten the odds is incredible and extremely positive for me going forward.
I’m not a religious man but I do have a faith in the universe and that is strong, and with that I will continue to believe that maybe Dr Kelly Turner PhD will one day perhaps be interviewing me to ask me how I survived stage 4 prostate cancer ☺️
Ive come to the end of blog no 50 I can’t believe I’ve written a half century of these blogs, I’ve always said I will continue to do them if I know they help at least one person, well for a start they have helped me to write my thoughts down. I would encourage anyone who is going through a hard time to write it down, you don’t have tonpublish it if you don’t want to but just writing things down is kind of cleansing. I always find when I’m writing my thoughts that I’m unloading a weight off my shoulders, I feel better for it in so many ways, so don’t be scared, get yourself a note book or open a blogger app like I use and write away, I promise you will be glad you did.❤️
