It has been comforting to know that there is now hopefully going to be the option for men in early stage prostate cancer to have only 7 sessions of radiotherapy and no hormone therapy. This shall make a massive difference as the treatments for Grahame were so awful and debilitating.
The message remains to seek advice in the early stages as once the cancer has spread from the prostate it is just a huge battle and a rollercoaster of treatment options.

Hopefully the future is looking brighter with early detection for men and their loved ones.

Hi Grahame,
Here’s hoping this is your last night on 4.
You take care.
Jo

Hi Graham.....we’re glad you got home today but the place isn’t the same without you!
Elaine and Amanda xxx

Grahame : Thanks you two, you made my stay in the Crosshouse Hilton very comfortable and kept a smile on my face ( and all the others ).
You were superstars, huge thanks. xxx

I'm sorry, very sorry to hear about your troubles. News has only just reached me. I've been out of touch for many years, and you used to know me as a Garven. I was one of your Uncle Wullie's lot. Say hi to Mary for me. Fiona and Derek too. All the best, Al. (email: mathiesona2@gmail.com)

Grahame : Hi Alexander, thanks for the kind words. Will try and contact you via facebook/messenger.

Hi Grahame,

Just read your recent post, all the best and take care.

Grahame : Cheers Will, hope you and yours are well.

Dear Grahame. You truly are an inspiration. Wishing you the very best on this journey.

Grahame : thanks for the kind words Zelna, take care x

nice post

Hi Graeme Mike from BA networks , bit of a shock to hear but really believe your blog is of real use. Good luck mate

Grahame : Cheers Mike, long time no speak. Take care

Hey Grahame!

It is so good to see that million dollar smile of yours.

Please know that I think of you and your family often and you continue to be in my prayers.

I trust that you will recover soon and we can get together again for a pint of beer and a few laughs.

I still chuckle about the time in Dublin when someone was demonstrating their self-parking car and you commented:
"Well, what the hell... you could park a damn bus in that space"

Take care buddy.

Grahame : Cheers Carl. I noticed the IBM share price went down when you left and then back up again when I left :-) We were a good team and our meetings and presentations were always fun
I would like nothing better than to share a few beers with you, hopefully we can do that sometime, either in the US or the UK. Please let me know if you are planning any trips over here.
Take care and love to you and your family x

Hey Grahame,

I'm touched that despite your difficult situation you still haven't lost your interest your energy your humor and all your positive energy you always had. Your grandchilds are amazing :)
Thank you for sending information about how you are as at least me I sometimes keep forgetting about your situation. Apologies for that but I guess one reason may also be because I always have you in mind as such a positive person and there is no space for anything negative... and still there isn't cause you deal with your situation as positive as possible...
Btw I still have the Rangers / Stuttgart friendship scarf which I keep always telling the story when the talks comes to former times and Champions League ;-)

Again all the best and positive energy from me !
Antonios

Grahame : Cheers for the kind and lovely comments Antonios. I always enjoyed working with you and meeting up on our travels. At least Stuttgart and Rangers had a better season with hopefully more to come this year for both of us.
Take care, keep well and hopefully IBM is looking after you.
All the very best, Grahame.

Hi Grahame, Fantastic picture. Had a read of your journey so far and it great to see your empowering your self with positive energy. I'm going to drop in form time to time to see how your going and remember I've got those big old dumbo ears if you ever need to have a chat. Will share the Blog with all I know. Talk to you soon ;-)

Grahame : Cheers Jeanne, I really miss our chats to put IBM to rights and all your inovative ideas. Would be great to catch up. Maybe I could join Mark the next time he is over in Dublin and arrange a few wee swallies ?
Huge thanks for your very generous donation for the Walk for men, really appreciated. Take care and keep well x

My father has the diagnosis you have. He's in his 70's I would like I ask more questions privately about your treatment. If you don't mind I would appreciate it.
