I get those spasms too. Far to regular. What works for pain? I just endure and never smoked weed. Does weed help?

Considering any of the radiation treatments for my intermediate favourable prostate cancer. I'd like the most skilled Dr possible. I'd like a ball park cost if possible. Many thanks.

I'm in the UK. Planning to marry my Thai gf. Register office say they need my decree absolute translated and signed by the translator. Anyone know cheap place to do this in centralish bkk? Why not just get anyone to translate for free and sign???? 😂

Thank you very much Tony. I'm 56, no benefits or pension. I've 200k in a ordinary tracker fund and some individual shares. So, I could invite gf over on fiance visa, we can marry in UK. I put 100k from shares to cash and then immediately apply for remain to stay? No need for her to leave UK?

Health issues. If possible I'd like to marry Thai gf of many years and bring her here. Not working but have own house and stock portfolio above the savings requirements UK impose. Do I need to sell and put 90k in the bank? How long does it need to be there? I'm divorced from previous Thai. We were in Japan and registered marriage with UK Embassy there. Divorced in Thailand and never told UK. I have a divorce paper in Thai. Needs resolving? Simple steps of advice please. Health is stressful enough.

Oh, sorry. I wasn't clear. It's Gleason 7 3+4 8 samples Gleason 3 3 samples Gleason 4 1 sample no cancer

12 samples taken. Unfortunately 8 Gleason 3 and 3 Gleason 4. One nothing. Dr said surgery as I'm youngish, 56. I suggested active surveillance which he agreed was an option.

BBC management will cull anything except their own terms and conditions. One of the best pensions you can have.

Simon, I've just found this.... Now as a lay person it seems to suggest all outcomes are the same regardless of taking surgery or even doing nothing, at least over a 15 year period. I know you're a scientist and no doubt smarter than me. I'd probably take 15 years and see....and average age of death is 80...I'd certainly take that. I prioritise healthy lifestyle and would rather live less years but not incontinent than get on average a few extra years but die not with my boots on but a nappy instead! Any thoughts? https://www.ox.ac.uk/news/2023-03-13-study-shows-delaying-treatment-localised-prostate-cancer-does-not-increase-mortality

Thanks Simon. Hard not to go to worst case scenario, at least for me 😂

Thank you

Thank you Sheryl. I'm in Exeter, south west England.

In the UK at the moment. Mid 50's. Had a couple of PSA tests. 3.9 and 3.6 Then an MRI which showed a 12mm lesion. Went for the biopsy, getting results on Tuesday 15th. The Dr already said that given my age and health (generally pretty good) he would recommend a prostatectomy!!!! Haven't had results yet, but preparing for the worst. Would appreciate others experiences. Willing to have treatment here on NHS or pay back in Thailand. Just want the best decision based on survival and quality of life. This is part of my research. Thanks.

Nope, just someone who values who they eat with rather than what they're eating. As long as healthy of course.
