Hello!
New person to board looking for a Gay (happy?) perspective. 60 year old. Gleason Score 7, MRI 2 spots RADS 4 1x1, & RADS 5 1x2, 27cm3 total. PSA last time was 10 and rising (Feb). Looking to get it treated. Have Chrohn's Disease so two surgeries (scar tissue) mean that robotic surgery is not a thing.

the time has come - 3 years from diagnosis
It has taken me 2 weeks to be able to tell the final chapter. On the Saturday it was stormy and the palliative care helps came to give Ch a shower. Then the afternoon was visitors. We has not seen them for a long time and Ch wanted to be in the wheelchair to see them. The conversation was full of memories

INTENSIVE CARE - Covid-19
Hi all, My Dad is very sadly in
intensive
care
on a ventilator with Covid-19. Very difficult as obviously can’t visit and reading the news and stats his prognosis is not good. I thought I’d read on here about other conditions with similar presentation in terms of what’s going on in ICU.

Rolling 50/30 day cycle of lockdown and relaxation could help manage COVID-19.
An alternating cycle of 50 days of strict lockdown followed by 30 days of easing could be an effective strategy for reducing the number of COVID-19-related deaths and admissions to
intensive
care
units, say an international team of researchers.

Ruxolitinib and Covid-19 - Trial
They believe it could reduce the need for treatment in
intensive
care
and in some cases save lives. Patients with severe Covid-19 can experience hyperinflammation, which can send the body into shock and damages organs.

Blood thinners may improve survival among hospitalized COVID-19 patients.
The study found that hospitalized COVID-19 patients treated with anticoagulants had improved outcomes both in and out of the
intensive
care
unit setting. The research also showed that the difference in bleeding events among patients treated with and without anticoagulants was not significant.

You’ll never guess what I heard in the Infusion Room today! 😀
So the lady across from me today said she just started Foslodex and Zometa today. I told her I had the same. MBC. Then she proceeded to tell me her Doctor said 5-10 years barring new treatments coming out all the time. She was like I’m 64...5-10 years plus whatever...She was so positive! But seriously

The final days
It is a very long time since I have had the energy to talk with you all. I feel I must do so before Ch passes from this life. It is hard to find the words. I was tired and dejected with myself as carer, nurse, wife etc and was thinking of phoning the Social Worker with the Palliative care team when she
