    Blimey @Bedsaddick, I know you said the tumour was pretty invasive, but I didn't realise it affected that many organs. I really hope you'll be feeling well enough to make it to the Valley for the Orient game.
    @Covered End sorry to hear you've the dubious honour of joining the club on this thread. Hopefully the PSA test means it's been caught in time, so you won't need further invasive treatment.
    @HardyAddick best of luck with the op.

    Morning all, came home last night, now in a kind of isolation as need to recuperate and get ready for the radiotherapy and chemo.
    Slept for nearly 12 hours and woke to see a NEW takeover thread V3.0, and then Cawleys piece about EFL approval of SE7 being granted.
    Today is going to be a very good day and has lifted my spirits considerably!
    Finally thanks again for all the best wishes and motivational comments, it has really helped. However special thanks to my mate @TCE for keeping you updated and making me laugh.
    Next battle starts soon.
    Take care all and I hope to see you down The Valley sometime this season x
    Cheers
    Malc x

    Well as I'm in good company, I'll declare that after the PSA blood test at The Valley on February 11th, I got a red text the following day. Hmm, I wasn't expecting that.
    Long story short, after months of tests, scans, biopsies, I had a prostatectomy last Thursday 6th July.
    Just recovering now and hoping to be fit for the start of the season.
    Hopefully it hasn't spread and early indicators are it hasn't, will find out more in the coming weeks/months.
    I've had a better 5 months.
    Back at the hospital yesterday for catheter removal/tests and to see the consultant for histology result. There was no evidence that the cancer had spread outside of the prostate, so now I need to recover and then it's PSA blood tests after 8 weeks, 3 months for a year, 6 months for a year, then annually from 3-10 years.
    Great news mate...onwards and upwards!

    Glad you are out and recuperating.  It seems they are throwing everything thing at you. I my case they have only given me chemo which restricts what I  can do and when i have infusions every 2 weeks and often clashes eith home matches but i feel we can all beat this thing.  Stay strong

    Went to see the Lass in Salisbury hospital to be told that her consultant popped in to tell her that the recent CT scan shows the lymph nodes have all reduced which proves that the chemo is working, 3 chemos to go. 
    Some good news at last and I wish RM Beds, CE, HA and others who are fighting this disease all the best and hope that the Lass's treatment continues to work.

    Delighted to read this for both your sakes, @lancashire lad; it's been a long wait to get some positive news.
    Fingers crossed for both of you.

    thanks Malc, glad to hear your positive news and the message from DH who really seems to be top notch.
    it is all so complicated this cancer treatment, while The Lass's chemo is seemingly successful it transpires that his is only the first step and she is now being assessed for a bone marrow transplant at Southampton which involved at least 4 weeks in isolation as they reduce her immunity to infection to zero and then build her back up. She has to go to Southampton for further assessment to see if she is medically fit enough to undergo the treatment, as the consultant said "you don't want her to go to Southampton and not come back", if she doesn't have this treatment it is likely that the lymphoma will return and then more chemo ad infinitum.

    and yes fuck cancer!

    That sounds good news @Redmidland.  Good luck with it all.  And what a boost to morale to get the message from Dean!

    Worrying times for you and your wife, @lancashire lad, but a much easier decision than it would have been 3 years ago when covid was at its height.  I am sure they have now got their isolation spot-on at Southampton and will take great care of her.  Good news that the chemo is having the desired effect.

    I hope the TNT blasts your cancer @Redmidland and that you enjoy some lovely meals in the meantime to gain some pounds.  Maybe HelloFresh/M&S or something similar can inspire/help out with new recipe ideas.  How lovely to receive such a personal response from Dean and the club.

    Wishing Gail continued success in her marathon.  Go girl <3

    @HardyAddick wishing you well after your operation.  

    Thank goodness for CL and CharltonTV.  Love this Club.

    Had my operation a week ago. Unfortunately I got an infection - sepsis. Caused my right lung to collapse. Put in nasal gastric tube to drain the stomach.
    finally taken off all oxygen, drips and tubes yesterday. Recovery now starts. Not a good few days.

    That sounds grim @HardyAddick. 
    Glad it is behind you now, and I hope the rest of your recovery is plain sailing.

    My operation was 4 weeks tomorrow and hopefully I'm over the worst now.
    I'll be more confident after the first PSA blood test result, assuming it's what I'm hoping for.
    You'll get there and try to take strength from knowing there's quite a number going through the wringer.
    Best wishes to everyone with their struggles.
