Instead of drinking a glass of water just use a straw and get small sips..

Afternoon @Mamaof2 and welcome! I can imagine what you're experiencing must be frightening 😐 Have you heard anything back regarding your biopsy results at all? Sending hugs!! -Kate

That doesn't sound good at all @Fighterforsure, has it improved at all in the last week? Have you been able to get in contact with your oncology team at all or a cancer care nurse? -Kate

Sending hugs @Isatracey, how have you been doing over the past week or so? -Kate

Hello @Minkyuu and welcome! Thank you for sharing your story so far with us! I worked in San Francisco for a long time, it's one of my favourite cities and I am rather partial to the Giants ⚾ I am glad you've been able to find accommodation for your treatment, that must have been a relief to you. I know your treatment has already started, how have you been finding it? We have a great podcast you may like to listen to on managing fear. Hoping all is going well, Kate Online Community Manager

Saw the radiology oncologist last week. Nup - unless I have chemo first, it's not going to happen. Where the primary cancer is located is very close to the Pulmonary artery, the secondaries are over the Aorta. I also have an Aortic aneurysm, located very close to the secondaries. Is referring me to the palliative team. Of course all of this takes, what seems to be a hell of a long time. I started this journey in about July last year.

You are invited... For many men, urinary side effects after prostate cancer treatment can be challenging. The Prostate Cancer Foundation of Australia are hosting their next webcast (this is the same as a webinar), on Wednesday May 6th from 7-8pm AEST. The webcast will explain the causes of urinary issues and examine a range of treatments to help overcome common side effects such as leaking and difficulty emptying. They’ll share the wisdom gained from working one-on-one with Australian men and discuss emerging prospects for helping to overcome incontinence. SBS journalist Ricardo Goncalves will take questions from the online audience, delivering an insightful conversation geared to give men practical solutions. Some of the topics to be covered are: Common side effects and causes Strategies for overcoming discomfort Managing leaks and choosing the right treatment for you Seeking support and affording access to care Knowing who to go to and where to turn This webcast is free, register your interest here.

Hi Deb1. I feel the same. My husband passed away last July & I have moved 5 hours away from where we lived to be closer to my brothers. I too find the days alright, but at night I'm so lonely. Since I've been by myself I tend to go to bed really late so I'm so tired I will go to sleep quickly. I made a decision when I arrived that I would not have a drink unless I was with other people & I don't miss it. Give it a go. Linda8
