    Hi, Terry – having had a bout with prostate cancer two years ago, I have all the sympathy in the world for your dad.
    I was fortunate (blessed) to avoid all chemotherapy. The urologist said it was in a very early stage, and decided on a radical prostatectomy.
    It was painful after the operation, and I had to go back to hospital three times to have my bladder unblocked (because of unexpected complications), but I am so grateful that I am entirely clear of the cancer.
    Thank you also for the update on your dad’s treatment. This really is heartening news.
    May he go from strength to strength.
    Regards,
    Mike

    That is encouraging news, Terry. I will keep your father in my thoughts and prayers.

    Thank you everyone, your thoughts, well wishes & prayers mean a lot to me!

    Mike -- I don't know if you saw the op in this thread, but unfortunately in my Dad's case the location of the cancer in the prostate is such that the doc's were afraid they might miss some with surgery. Thus the chemo. I'm glad to hear that your's went so well mate!

    MacBean -- I spent part of yesterday remembering my dear departed grandfather, who was like a father to me (I didn't have the best relationship with my Dad until a few years ago). Bitter sweet day in that respect, but we have those treasured memories. All the best.

    Again, thanks....I'll pass the messages along

    If good wishes from a Buddhist count for anything in your universe, you and your dad have them.
