My best mate has prostate cancer.
He confirmed this to me 2 weeks ago. He knew that I am a survivor of this disease, and had already decided that he wanted the prostate removed.
The specialist told him that it would be done by robotic keyhole surgery, and done in the UCH near Euston in London.
On Friday he went to see the specialist that would be doing the op, but told my friend that he could not have it as he would die on the table as he has a heart condition and is over weight.
Talk about being gutted.
So now the option is kemo, but he does not want this as it is still a death sentence.
Why do we believe this? Because I know 3 people that have died and another is now having to undergo more kemo as his cancer has spread.
Today he is considering going to abroad to that clinic that cured the young boy who had a brain tumour, if you remember who's parents took him from the English hospital.
Big fuss was made, but the boy was cured.
