Continent Urostomy and pregnancy
Hi everyone, I am having fertility problems at the moment but going to see a specialist in the next two weeks. From what I understand I will be able to have a baby with some help! My main concern however is what will happen to my stoma during pregnancy. I have a continent urostomy which means I don't

Stressful Day
I've had a tiring day after travelling from my home to London where I am being sent for my surgery as Southend do not have the specialist needed. I got there early but then my appointment ran two hours late. I wasn't expecting my information to be sugar coated but I got told a whole range of things

Update
Hi ladies. Just an update on where I've been at for the last 3 weeks. Unfortunately on my holidays I got somewhat dehydrated and developed a partial bowel obstruction, which meant most of the holiday was spent in hospital - however I picked up on the last few days and got home safe and sound.

Bowel op - outcome
So I finally has my bowel resection to remove the remainder of the endo. The surgery went well in the sense that I did not need a stoma as they were able rejoin it. It took just over 6 hours for the resection. In equally good news there was no trace of my previously excised endo or endo anywhere other

Extensive ultra radical surgery
Well after my very emotional day at the hospital yesterday I didn't sleep much last night. I'm having what's called extensive ultra radical surgery, which involves removal of any signs of cancer from my organs. I say emotional as I had a meeting with a stoma nurse just in case they find anything on

The story so far
I started a new job in October 2015 and decided it would be a good idea to cycle to work and get a bit fitter. After a couple of days I noticed that my urine was a bit darker than normal, but didn't think too much about it. Then one day I noticed a small blood clot. This worried me a bit, so I went straight

FIGHTING BACK
I've been called a "warrior" a number of times, but I didn't really feel like one until I began radiation this past Tuesday, March 28. Somehow just taking the hormone therapy didn't seem like actively fighting against the cancer, but now it's different, somehow. Even having my testicles

Another challenge
To my friends from Malecare and those following me, there have been recent changes, and I haven't been posting anything, because I've had so much fatigue and I have some difficulty in navigating this new site. Now I'm having extreme pain in my prostate, which couldn't be removed because of the involvement

Feeling Poorly
I had my first dose of chemo yesterday I didn't feel ill but not amazing either. I expected to feel buzzing after steroids but I didn't feel better until the evening. Today I don't feel well either but nothing I can put my finger on. Surely the steroids should have me in house cleaning mood. Have taken
