Back at The Christie Hospital today for my latest prostate cancer test results.

#ProstateCancer screening debate is raging. I’ve tried to capture the nuances of the debate in this blog. I accept that I’m biased towards screening but I’ve tried to reflect both sides. runningintocancer.co.uk/2025/11/02/t...

I was 35 with no symptoms and no family history. A high PSA led to a biopsy and a low-risk diagnosis. I spoke with six urologists. Most recommended active surveillance.

After feeling awful yesterday I felt great today and so pushed it quite hard to do my fastest time on this short route on the 6th consecutive day of running. Rest day from running tomorrow as I’m going hiking in the Peak District 😂😂

ust nearly burst into tears in an exercise class because I was struggling horrendously with fatigue and couldn’t do a lot of the exercises like I normally can. But it’s okay, I got the good cancer! #prostatecancer Still managed a mile plod very slowly!

Decided to do a short “effort” run this morning. Only a couple of miles but it finally felt like I was running rather than jogging! Still plenty of room for improvement though. New knee holding up well!

45 years ago today we got married.
8 years ago I was told I only had 2 years to live thanks to stage 4 #prostatecancer and I didn’t think we’d get to 40 years let alone 45! Now I’m optimistic we’ll get to 50!
Don’t think we’ve changed a bit in 45 years 😂😂😂

8.25 years ago I was told I might only have 2 years to live thanks to incurable prostate cancer and I didn’t think I’d get to see my then 3yo grandson Ethan become a teenager. Well he’s 12 this month and I’ve just been told that my PSA remains undetectable! Still beating the odds, a very lucky man!

My friend Paul Dennington, also living with terminal prostate cancer, is walking 588 miles through his life across the country in 36 days. I joined him today for one leg and that’s enough for me. No idea how he does it but any donations gratefully received www.justgiving.com/page/paul-de...
