Well I didn’t think that my year would start like this and that my jousting opponent this year would be an internal battle. A routine health check at the doctors in October last year found a raised PSA blood level and slightly enlarged prostate.
The MRI scan that followed found a small leiasion but the prostate consultant (who is on of the best in the UK) was happy that it was not an aggressive cancer and monitoring and further testing would be ok. That is where the good news ended the MRI also found an unrelated issue in my lymph node in the groin. Cut a long story short after many tests and a biopsy it turned out to be cancer.
All the testing and the day of the diagnosis was depressing, frightening - for my loved ones and friends to. I’m lucky to have them and their support especially for the other half of Knight-angel, Deb who is awesome.
So that’s it all bets are off for the next 6 months. The joust is on and I will win and get this disease out. It’s curable and that’s all that counts this knowledge is the key to stay positive for the dark days that are sure to come as the battle begins.
Peace n Love
Knight
