Hi Mark,

It’s helpful for me to read your posts as my partner has Prostate Cancer ( and my cousin )

By the time my partner was diagnosed the Cancer had already spread to his seminal vesicles.

He is now on 2 types of hormones; a 3 monthly injection in his stomach and daily Enzalutamide tablets.

He also had a catheter for way too long ( but that’s another story ) but quite recently had a TURP operation, which went really well; much better in actual fact than he’d expected.

I just want to thank you, and to say I think it’s great that you are writing about this here, as you say, it’s far cheaper than therapy.

I think it’s so important to feel witnessed; to feel seen, heard and understood, and although I have friends & family that are sympathetic to mine and my partners situation, they can’t really relate and it can feel quite a lonely path to travel ( and I’m not the one with the fucking Cancer !!!!!!! )

Thank you,

Lee
