I was recently diagnosed with Prostate Cancer, by chance, as it happens. I was sent for a scan by a urologist to check on problems with pissing, and what happened is that I was that he discovered a small cancer in my prostate!
Images of the difference between “ordinary” cells and cancer cells
This after the public section of the health system had been mucking about for several years, I went there, I was seen by a nurse, who reported to a doctor, (oh, I took a test piss, filling a bucket with piss) and that was repeated time after time….. So I got fed-up with this routine, so I went to a private Urologist instead.
There were about 5 cancer cells to be found in there, and he ordered another scan to check out how far it was and if it was curable, and this one discovered that there were no others, so it was a case of dealing with 5 cancer cells.
So sent me to a cancer specialist, who took one look at the scan, and decided that I needed to be irradiated at once…. So she set this up, so I had to go for 39 sets of radiations in another hospital – the one I saw her in didn’t have the capacity to deal with this.
This was painless, but boring………..
And entailed loads of driving too, about 70 km per day! But it worked!
In the end I was declared free of cancer cells, and I pissed 2 times a night as opposed to every three quarters of an hour… Which was a great relief. But the only thing was the “hot flushes” that I suffered from, as a result of the hormone injections I had – the idea was to stop the testosterone adding to the cancer, but it was a dreadful thing! I had “hot flushes” every few minutes, which was a real drag!!!!!!! And it went on for about a year as well. And I am still getting it at night, sadly.
But otherwise, I am cured completely, which is GREAT!!!!
