I am now in my early thirties and to be honest I have never really had any security in my life. I have simply been jumping from one job to another, I think one of the main reasons behind this is simply because of the fact that I have never really known what to do with my life.
This all changed when I started looking through a spa holidays brochure, after days of sifting through brochures I made the decision to book up a well deserved break for myself. When the day arrived I made my way to the airport as I did not book this trip in the UK, it was in fact the Hong Kong spa holidays that you see advertised all over.
When I first arrived the destination was like something out of a film, it was truly amazing. For the first few days I relaxed down by the pool, with various massages and treatments. But then I started to get quite bored I mean there is only so much you can do. I started looking at other people and they were forever reading books, but my imagination. Was a lot bigger then that.
Instead of reading I actually took the time out and started writing my own novels; it literally put me into a zone that I had never been to before. For the rest of the trip I continued to write my first ever book and by the time I got back home it was complete.
Since that initial trip I have constantly been writing new stories and have earnt a really nice salary from something I love doing. I some aspects it is a lot different, as I am making a lot more money then people doing real strenous work.

Monday 6th Feb 2012: My Prostate Cancer Diary.
So here is the problem. I have dismissed Surgery completly and that leads me to Radio Therapy as the only available conventional medical alternative.
My Oncologist want me to have Hormone Treatment to:
- a: Slow the Growth of the Cancer cells by (basically) chemically castrating me. Ouch!
- b: Shrink the Prostate down to a smaller target for his magic Death Ray.
I didn’t want to do that with Hormone treatment, but can appreciate why he wants to do that.
So I’m looking into all types of Natural and Alternative medications.
The best I have come up with is PawPaw (Papaya) as there have been quite a few studies with very promising reasults, PLUS it has been… Continue reading Prostate Cancer Diary - My Natural Alternative
Prostate Treatments and Me.
Long time coming since my last post – but I have been kinda busy…. Tests – tests and more tests 
So this is the latest:
My Urologist sent me to the Radio Oncologist because I decided I do NOT want surgery. Apparently I can’t have Brachyatherapy (my original choice) because my Gleason Score is 8 – too high, so External Beam Therapy is the only option, even though they only found cancer cells in ONE of the TEN Biopsies they took.
HOWEVER: (I am discovering LOTS of ‘Howevers’), the Oncologist wants me to have Hormone Treatment first to bring my enlarged prostate down in size.
An ‘Average’ prostate is about 40mm – about the size of a small Plum -… Continue reading My Personal Prostate Cancer Treatment Options
And it came to pass….
A week or so has gone by since I wrote the first post on my ‘Personal Prostate Journey’ and was pleasantly surprised by the comments and messages sent to me.
So thank you all – I appreciate it.
But the one thing that caught me off guard was the WAY it has effected others in my family.
The general consensus was ‘ouch’ or ‘shit’ or some other expletives too bad to mention here – but you get the idea. However it was strange from my point of view to sort of accept it as a ‘fait accompli’ when others reacted differently.
One member of my immediate family came rushing to see me, while another has not mentioned it to me at… Continue reading Who Are The Innocent Victims of Prostrate Cancer?
