Thanks and praises to the Most High for this wonderful community. And thanks to each single shipmate on this board who has welcomed me back, on this thread or via PM!

Praying through the thread for each name and need
Still feeling perfectly healthy. Will see my radiation oncologist tomorrow to find out the results of my recent scans; my PSA has risen, so something will be done. I'm leaving in God's hand what the near future will hold for me, therapy-wise, on the basis of that meeting (it would be for the best if the prostate cancer has not metasticized). The good news is that all the treatment options being discussed, while might involve discomfort, don't seem to be the sickness and hair loss thing. (I hope i am not left neuter as a result though)

I have a - cough - interesting meeting at work tomorrow, combined with a tendency to put my foot in my mouth and dig myself big holes. Got a union rep coming with me. Got some interviews for other jobs next week. Maybe I should treat tomorrow's meeting as an exercise in not getting stressed out when getting stressed out isn't going to change anything.
ETA - on the plus and praise side, I'm finding my phased return to work pretty okay so far (I just think that it won't work long-term unless my employer agrees to a specific reasonable adjustment for me and I suspect I might have a fight on my hands to get that reasonable adjustment).

Spare a little prayer, if you will, for this much beloved infant gorilla and her family group. I hang out at the zoo a lot, and loved watching this little family. It's surprisingly gutting.

Malik, remembering you at this difficult stage. But take comfort that even a radical prostatectomy will not neuter you - perhaps limited in your response for a while, but not neutered. 5 or 6 years ago, I was facing the operation. The wife of a friend who had undergone the surgery made the comment that they were still able to have fun, just in a different form while things adjusted themselves. As things turned out neither the op nor ray treatment was necessary for me, but good advice from your urologist is the place to start.

Praying through the thread for each person and their needs.
Prayers for the baby gorilla and her family.
Thanks and praise for my 2 feline family members who bring much joy to this household. And thanks and praise for all who work to let our fellow animal creatures have tp the extent possible the kind of life their Maker intended for the work of their Maker's hands.
Thanks for your prayers and comments Gee D. Surgery is ruled out in any case. Hormone deprivation therapy would definitely be a part of it. Radiation also if the malignancy has NOT spread from the prostate. If it has, then no radiation but more hormone deprivation. (Hmmm. That's food for thought) Meanwhile my melanoma remains quietly under the surface (sort of like watching a volcano to see if it will erupt or not)
Well, off to my onco right now to find out whether or not their is metastasis or not and to find out what is in my near future therapy-wise.

One of our shipmates, (who doesn't post anymore) lost her Mother this week, Our shipmate lives in the US and her mother lives in Europe. This week has been tough for her, because she didn't have a passport, (it expired) and had to go through that drama. Then, it costs a lot of money, (even with a bereavement ticket) and one of her relatives helped out. It was that kind of upsetting kind of week.
You know, 'can I go, should I go, can I afford it?' kind of week.
It makes me sad for her, but God worked it all out and could you please join me in praying her through her sadness and that the trip will be stress free? Thank you.

I have pretty bad ADHD and this week, when I've really needed to stay on task, I've had major problems doing so. A great success is within reach if I apply myself, but I'm just bouncing off every wall.
I feel like getting dramatic and viewing this as a Spiritual Attack, but it's a problem whichever way I look at it. Prayers for making up for lost time by tomorrow evening would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you for that elucidation Malik. Hormone deprivation treatment was not suggested to me as a possibility. Had my problem turned out to be a malignant growth, my choices would have been to have had ray treatment, some chemotherapy, an operation, a combination of these, or done nothing. After discussion with the consultant urologist (and friends) Madame and I decided that I would have the operation first and then see what further treatment was necessary. Fortunately I did not have the complications of other health problems which confront you, and even more fortunately my problem turned out not to be a malignancy but something which could be fixed by a very simple operation (with none of the problems which can go with a radical prostatectomy) and some rest to recover.
Prayers for you for guidance in your decision-making, and that your specialists provide you with skilled and compassionate treatment.

Having done something well-intentioned but highly impulsive, I am now acutely aware of the potential for untended consequences, not just for myself. Praying that God will overcome my stupids and bring about ultimate good.
Also praying that I'll learn to think twice before opening my big fat mouth. ![[brick wall]](graemlins/brick_wall.gif)

I need your prayers because I badly badly need to vent in the most foul-mouthed rant ever, and I can't do it anywhere or to anyone because of confidentiality. I am just so immensely angry that I have been put in this position and basically made to do someone else's dirty work. The only comfort I can take from this is that the appalling message I had to deliver was arguably more kindly delivered by me than it would have been by someone else. God's been listening to quite a few swearwords this evening, and I think he might be joining in.
And much more important than me, please you could pray for the recipient of that message. They were incredibly gracious, but I delivered them a sucker punch, no doubt about that.

For Sr Catherine Wybourne, alternatively known as Digitalnun from the iBenedictines, who has cancer, and has learnt that the secondaries in her lungs and liver are spreading.
She has helped so many people she's never met over the years since she established a Benedictine presence on the internet. And is handling this latest news with such grace and faith.
But it is such sad news.

Lord, in Your mercy, hear our prayers.
My close friend, E, has also been signed off work with stress and been prescribed antidepressants. She is proving difficult to contact, which I can totally understand, but it's concerning for her friends at church. Her NHS assessment isn't until the end of this month, so she won't start getting help for a few weeks yet. Please pray for her.
Also, on a more domestic note, I dropped a plastic lid down our bathroom sink yesterday (long story - it doesn't have the usual filter at the top). The sink is now blocked and I'm waiting to hear back ffrom m a plumber. Please pray that it can be removed easily. Thank you.
