frozy 0 Posted March 29, 2017 Hi all would just like to promote this charity cycle ride I''m doing on 9th June this year for prostrate cancer. It''s 145 miles from London to Amsterdam along with a couple of hundred other football fans . At present I''m the only Norwich fan and season ticket holder doing the ride and am looking for your support please! If you can help in anyway would be great as it''s not only 145 miles but I also have to put up with about 10 Ipswich fans and Terry Butcher ! www.justgiving.com/fundraising/David-Frosdick Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

frozy 0 Posted March 29, 2017 Thankyou very much for the donation Keelansgrandad you make sure you don''t lift the kettle too soon Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted March 29, 2017 [quote user="Greavsy"]Surely lifting the kettle is a job for keelansgrandma?To look after you, as you recover?[/quote]Well once the prostate goes I won''t be needing her for the other business that''s for sure. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted March 29, 2017 [quote user="FenwayFrank"]Swindon, please get yourself checked, it''s not that bad really.[/quote]Quite right. It isn''t about a finger up the khyber anymore. It''s about PSA tests and scans.Mind you biopsies, especially bone ones and cystoscopies are a bit invasive they numb you.I don''t want to hear that someone on here has died because they hadn''t bothered checking.I have two sons, nine grandchildren and four great grandchildren who will be hearing me prattle on about NCFC for another decade yet thanks to going for a check up.

A friend of mine had the same procedure in Addenbrookes and he''s fine now.There are worse punishments than being waited on hand and foot for a few weeks....

......and Smith must score. 1,339 Posted March 29, 2017 Happy to donate to this good cause.You''ll need to pedal like hell to get across the North Sea though.Incidentally it''s prostate.

Johnny Stump 1 Posted March 29, 2017 I urge anyone who is showing signs of hesitation, or being unable to go after sitting down for a while, just doing little dribbles instead of a strong stream, or who goes several times a night, or who needs to know exactly where the toilets are in a theatre etc and plans their seat accordingly, to seek a Doctors advice. Especially if you are of a certain age.The above was me and thankfully had an enlarged prostate diagnosed and removed, and thankfully not cancerous.Too many men have a hang up about anything waterworks related.Believe me a finger up your arris is the least of your problems.Happy to report I now pi55 like a racehorse, can hold my drink and stop my stream at will.Great cause, good luck with your bike ride.

ricardo 7,380 Posted March 29, 2017 Good luck KG, Cancer is no longer a death sentence. When I was first diagnosed with Non Hogkins I naturally panicked but I''ve been living with it for nearly 8 years and I''m still going.Maybe not strong but I''m still going.All the best for your op.[Y] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

After the Falklands war some of us Navy lads did a cycle around Britain, visiting all the home ports of the ship that went down.

You are so right. If we become too frightened of cancer we won''t fulfil our lives.Mine is being removed, hopefully totally and within a couple of months I will be fully active again. Be prepared for some teasey posts though as I will be going stir crazy,But I will look forward to your reports as ever. Keep up the good work. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
danielsroundabout 9 Posted April 1, 2017 Just to say to you Keelansgrandad, I hope all goes well for you on Monday. You''ll be in good hands, well the robot will and I am sure all will be well.I had a session with the same robot (same procedure) at the end of last year and the outcome has been really good. I''d be interested to hear if you have the same consultant as I had, what''s his surname begin with? Very best wishes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
