Cycling UK Forum

I'm new to this forum and only found this post today. I'm 75 years old and still race in Time Trials. In March 2017 I was diagnosed with Prostate Cancer, the Cancer hadn't advanced beyond the Prostate, the Surgeon offered me an operation or radiotherapy. My wife had radiotherapy and an operation for Bowel Cancer in 2016 and she has made an excellent recovery. I decided on the operation, it was keyhole surgery and I didn't experience any pain, the only painful part was using a catheter for a week afterwards! I have to wear Tena pads now and I'm infertile, however I resumed Time Trialling in Spring 2018 and I'm very fit otherwise. If Prostate Cancer is caught in its early stages there is a very good chance of recovery.
