Many thanks, Clare. I hope your mother’s treatment is successful. Cancer is indeed a cruel disease, but new advances are being made every day, so there is always hope as well.

My Mum is going through cancer treatment and the moment with chemo and the first of two surgeries under her belt so far, it’s such a cruel disease. I wish you well for the future.

It’s sad to hear about the amount of misinformation going around! We have a friend who is going through radiotherapy at the moment and reading this has been very enlightening indeed.

Thank you, Johanna. Yes, early diagnosis and treatment makes a big difference with all cancers but prostate cancer especially. I am glad you are doing well yourself after your own brush with cancer.

You hear it all over the news that prostate cancer is a big killer in the cancer world, but this wouldn’t be the case if people got it checked early. I’m glad to hear you’re doing okay now treatment is over, and I hope it continues to be that way 🙂

Thank you, Nikki. Yes, part of my purpose in writing this article was to try to dispel some of the stigma attached to prostate cancer and encourage men to take action sooner rather than later. I am glad that your surgery for liver cancer went well.

I personally did not know much about prostate cancer. I can understand why men would be put off going to get these things checked out. So glad to hear you are on the other side now and doing well.
