Living with Prostate Cancer on the Isle of Wight
My personal story of Prostate Cancer & Me
Advanced Prostate Cancer Stage 4
My name is Chris. I am a web designer – quite possibly the busiest web designer in the UK. I live on the beautiful Isle of Wight in a place called Newport.
These pages will be filling up with posts covering everything about my cancer journey so far. From my diagnosis in August 2022 right up until today. Please remember I am not looking to put my opinions or experiences on anyone else going through the same thing. We are all unique and different and all have different approaches and are at different stages in our lives.
This website outlines my own prostate cancer path and mine alone. I hope it may be useful and helpful to other men though.
Best Regards
