Hello, I just wanted to say thanks to everyone who has left kind comments, and I’m sorry to everyone who has experienced similar things themselves or with family members. I normally respond to comments individually but I still feel weird about posting this video and talking about something personal.
It's very brave of you. Please don't ever feel you have to respond to every post, except mine of course :) Ha ha, only joking, hopefully bringing a little smile to your face. Thank you for the film of your dad. Looks like a great guy.
I lost my wife 9 years ago this month to cancer. I won’t offer words of wisdom because there’s no single solution to fix things . My heart goes out to you and I’m sure everyone else of your subscribers too. ❤
Hi Betty. So sorry to hear what your dad, you, and your family are going through. My wife and cousin are currently being treated for different cancers, so I have an idea of how you are feeling. I wish you all the very best, and hope the treatment works. Take care
Hi Betty, I got diagnosed with prostate cancer 9 years ago. Fortunately it has been contained within the prostate and I have a PSA blood test every six months. I would encourage every man over 55 to get tested regularly. Many men live to a ripe old age with prostate cancer. I recently had a prostate artery embolisation which has increased the quality of my life dramatically. Best wishes to all of your family.
Just discovered your channel. We enjoy your videos from here in Northwest Indiana. You live in a lovely place. Hope your father gets better soon. Best wishes to you and your family.
Bless you, I've lost both parents to cancer. I so hope your dad gets positive news, and that his treatment goes well, so he can make a full recovery. Sorry my comment is late, however I've just started to watch your channel.
Betty, I discovered your channel by chance and love watching you and your boat. I’m so very sorry to hear about your father as my father is unwell too so I kind of understand. If you ever need to take time off making these videos, we will be still here waiting for the next one even if it’s in a years time. Love your content. Stay safe and take time out for yourself and your family.
My father was diagnosed with prostate cancer many years ago and he's still going strong at 89. He's had all the usual conventional treatment but he was given one tip which he credits with lowering his PSA significantly and quite quickly. He was told to eat a lot of asparagus. For a long time he was taking it in soup form but now he generally sticks to asparagus tips. He was, of course, sceptical at first but it really did work for him. Might be worth a try- nothing to lose. Good luck!
Betty, my father was diagnosed with cancer last year. The whole family was devastated so I know how you feel, make the most of the time you have. My thoughts are with you and your parents. Remember to look after yourself.
My feelings are with you about your dad. I lost my brother in 2015 to that cancer. It was the hardest thing the last time I left him. He said to me, "You have work to do here. Don't worry about me." That was the kind of person he was. And I never saw him again. Keep well and treasure the time you have left with him. He looks like a very nice guy.
Thank you, I will put this towards my maintenance fund! Sorry for not replying sooner - I’m still getting the hang of UA-cam and have only just seen this.
Hi, Betty - I like your videos of your Narrow boat journey. I wanted to to buy a Narrow boat as well. I'll say some prayers for your Dad to make a full recovery. I went through NHL and a Transplant a few yrs ago and lost both of my parents 4 and 5 yrs ago now. It sucks and I wish you and your Dad the best! Stay Strong!!! I'd like to message you more.
Hoping the best for your Dad and moments of peace and calm for the whole family through this difficult time. Sending you a great big hug- all the way from Florida! We're here to listen if it helps to talk through it.
Hi Betty, You are so lucky to have the relationship that you do with your parents. Sadly my opportunity came when it was too late. Your parents are so lucky to have a daughter who takes the time to communicate with them and shares her life with them. I wish I had such an opportunity. Thank you for sharing such an important part of your life, you have no reason to apologize. Mark Alberta, Canada
Betty, please don't abandon us, we are subsribers because we are with you, share you're heavy load with us, let us support you and lighten your load. We can help you even if it's just by listening.please upload more, not less, lots of love to you, worried subscriber
I hope you do keep posting, I always get a smile on my face when I see your video in my feed and can't wait to watch. Hopes and prayers for your dad, my mum just had her cancer op last week, things are looking positive so far, just hope it's the same for your dad. Well done for being brave and posting, can't have been easy, you're tougher than you think.
Thank you for talking about.this I can see it taken a lot of courage to make this video on what happening your dad. Hope dad make full recovery. Don’t worry about talking to camera when other are around if eases the stress and upset then do it. We all hear to listen and give support. Take care for now our thoughts are with you
So sorry to hear your news. My father was diagnosed with advanced, aggressive prostate cancer that had spread outside his prostate 25 years ago. He had his prostate removed and is now on Zolodex implants every three months and is still going strong. So don’t give up hope as it is much more survivable these days even when it’s advanced and aggressive. My father had no symptoms and had a test while he was having a normal check up.
Betty, my dad had prostate cancer, so I regularly get checked for it during my annual check ups (I’m now 62.) Thank you for updating us and thinking of us. However, you have built a community that is willing to be a support to you as well. Lean on us if and when you need support. We will be thinking of you, your dad, and your family. Tim
@@tmcmurdo826 That makes more sense Tim , my mum had that . None of it is good . My dad has prostate cancer and has for many years , he's 93 now . I should get another PSA test done myself, coming up on 70 .
@@Gordon_L I encourage you to do that. As I said, I get mine check with each of my annual check ups. Betty has done us a favor in sharing her dad’s story.
Hi Betty, just came across your channel and watched all your vlogs. Was devastated to hear your dad has prostate cancer. Really hope his treatment goes well. We bought our boat last year and our plans have had to change twice due to unforeseen medical problems. Wishing you and your family all the best. Look after yourself.
My dad had prostate cancer so after hearing the radio adds I had a PSA test, it’s a simple blood test with results in just 5 days, so like you I urge everyone to walk into the doctors and just ask for a PSA test it takes less than 5 minutes, thankfully mine came back as normal, thinking of your dad and wishing him all the best xx
I have just discovered your channel and binge watching your videos. I would just like to give you a big telepathic hug and hope things are improving with you dad. Keep smiling. Steve xx
So sorry to hear the news about your dad Betty, but it's great that he is getting treatment. They can do so much with the treatments these days. Sending hugs ❤
Your dad seems like a lovely man, wishing him and you all the best! ( Also I quite like the sound quality with the rumble of the engine, feels like we're on the boat too :).
My Father had prostate cancer and because of that, I was tested when I turned 50. As it turned out, I was diagnosed with the damned stuff. After soul searching, I had the extreme robotic surgery performed about 9 years ago. That event certainly affected my life in some ways, but I am without the dreaded "C" and have been since they did the surgery. There's a very, very good chance that your Dad will be as fortunate as I have been. My heart goes out to you and your Dad and Mum. Try to think positive. If your Dad ever wants to discuss the issue with a rockin' 60 year old guy from the suburbs of Philadelphia, I'd be happy to do that. Love, Tommy
I'm so happy that your father got treatment in good time, and will no doubt share many happy memories for years to come. Lovely to see your serene travels in nature which has such great healing energy.I'm living abroad now but I really miss the countryside of the UK greatly! Stay safe.😊
You are so sweet Betty. I have heard of many good outcomes from prostate cancer. Never lose hope there is much they can do these days for this condition. Best wishes and prayers for you and family...
Lost my father to cancer nearly 10 years ago, i hope this will not be the case for you, spend as much time with him as you can, tell him how much he means to you and your family, it will help him and you enormously no matter what happens. Best wishes to you all.
As a prostate cancer survivor, I can tell you that it is treatable if the cancer has not spread too far. I had the radiation BB's (brachytherapy) and it turned out to be sucessful, thank goodness. Keep positive and tell your dad to take charge of his treatment. Do NOT let the doctors put off any treament with a wait and see, or let's see how this goes, methodology. I am a new subscriber from the USA and love to see you in the rural English countryside. Wishing you and your dad the best of luck.
A pal of mine has had prostate cancer and has come through treatment and doing well,do try to keep positive,and yes testing is so important,my cancer was picked up on an unrelated blood test by my brilliant GP. Best wishes to your dad.
I lost my dad to prostate cancer a couple of years ago so this hits home. I ll be praying for you and your family. Your a very special person & I enjoy watching your videos!
Thanks for sharing Betty, it must have been difficult. I’m going to look at having a test, no symptoms, but you’ve convinced me it’s important to check.
I can relate to this, Betty. I am awaiting the results of my biopsy, next week I hope. All I can say is, if your old enough to get checked, DO IT. I can assure you, you do not want to go for a biopsy, as I'm sure Betty, your dad would agree. Update. After waiting 5wks (I was told it would be 3) for my results, I was given the all clear. That makes up for the loss of my dignity, if I had any in the first place.
Hi Betty, thank you for the update and my thoughts and best wishes to both of your parents. I hope you managed to get the engine serviced and I look forward to your next update whenever you manage to do it.
Hey Betty, talking is great and we are all here to listen and support. Been through this myself with both my parents so my heart goes out to you. Take care of yourself, Iain
Hi Betty That’s such a shock. Was just expecting to see you and a swan on the canal with you losing your hat and finding a stray cat. Hopefully your dad’s treatment will sort it out and you can get him to join you on your boat for some adventures when he is on the mend. You have such a lot of warmth, love and support on this channel that wishes your dad a full recovery.
Each of us go through something similar to this. Each of us deal with it in different ways. Its OK. Thanks for sharing, and good luck to you and your family.
Feeling anxiety about what I'm about to watch? 😬 Edit : rooting for your dad, my grandad went through it a couple of times. Treatment has come along way in recent times, fingers crossed you can all smile about this in the near future ❤️
Thank you for continuing to take us on your journeys sharing your news with us. Sending much love to You, your Mom and your Dad and I hope he hears good news soon. Film as much or as little as you want to. I'm sure all of your subscribers will be here for you and your family ❤
Hello Betty. I would like to say how much my wife and I are enjoying your vlogs, you're really a nice person to follow, Thanks for sharing time with us.. Like your dad, I had prostate cancer about 9 years ago, but it was dealt with at the time and I am fine, so, wishing your dad all the very best. Good luck !
Thank-you for your openness and I am deeply saddened to hear to hear the your father is ill. My cousin had/has (?) prostate cancer, he was quite unwell for a for a few years, but after the treatment, he is now better, improving anyway. We are still waiting for the all-clear, but we are quietly confident. Sending you all my wishes in this painful and worrying time. I wish him, you all, well.
Hi Betty,so, so sorry to hear about your dad. I wish him all the best in his fight with cancer. My ears pricked up when I heard you mention the Kings Bromley Marina. On your video, on your right was the old Leavlite factory where my dad worked, and as you were reversing, I could see the top of our white house where we used to live !!! The bridge ahead of you was where I used to catch the school bus to litchfield to attend Aelfgar school. You bring to Australia so many memories Betty, can't thank you enough. Thoughts and prayers to yourself and family during these difficult times. Take care, look after yourself from Marty in Oz x
Hi Betty, so sorry for your families news, cancer affects the whole family as I found out 2years ago with throat cancer. You’re doing the right thing in my opinion, be near your parents and I wish your dad the best of luck with the incoming results and the treatment he’s going to get. X
Good luck to you, your dad and whole family. My dad had prostate cancer about 6 years ago. He is still with us and is still fighting fit. So keep positive, and stay strong. Well done for sharing - it may help somebody else.
So sorry to hear your dad's condition I lost my brother 2 years ago to prostate cancer, he did not seek treatment til it was too late please tell everyone to seek treatment as soon as you realise your unwell or go and ask your GP to get checked early as it is treatable in its early stages❤ hope everything goes well for you!
Im sorry to hear your bad news Betty. I know how devastating it is. Ive lost all my family to cancer. Im a nhs worker too and work in a cancer clinic. Its good your spreading the word about prostrate cancer. Hope your dad gets bettee news and his treatment goes well. Big hugs lovely x
Really sorry to hear your news, hope your dad makes a full recovery, he seems lovely from the videos you shared. Nice that he's a canal so you can be closer. Great idea making people aware of something we should all be checking anyway but probably don't. Looking forward to more videos when you have the time. Much love from sunny Skegness!
Thank you for posting this video Betty and for sharing your news with us . I wish your dad well . I am so happy that you are a close family . See you soon .
I had prostate cancer 14yrs ago, I went to the Drs for another ailment but they found the cancer doing another test. They removed 20% of the prostate and everything good now. Positive mindset at all times got me through the dark times and there was a few of them!! Sending love to you,your mum & positive vibes to your dad 🙏❤️
It's hard to open up in person. I feel that when i chat with others, i dont know, it's a comfort thats different, a peace i guess. Telling people you never met is strange i agree. But there are so many good people, good hearts who understand and know how you feel who gives support from a different angle.
Bless you Betty you had this 60yr old man in tears for you and your dad.Great message in here for us as men as we often forget about ourselves in everyday life.Good wishes to you and family from ours here in Australia.xx
so sorry to hear about your dad,it is good that you are going to be near him and your mum for the foreseeable,its good that you are going to continue to make the videos as that will help to keep you grounded.sending you all my love and a big hug,all of us following you will be keeping your family in our thoughts.xxxx
Love your videos and am so sorry to hear of the shock diagnosis for your Dad. Sending healing vibes to your Dad and best wishes to you and your Mum who I am sure will be pleased to know you are near at this stressful time.
So sorry Betty to hear about your dad. Treatment nowadays is very good so he will be in the best hands. Thoughts and big hugs to you and you have loads of folk out here who are supporting you. If you feel the need to talk, I am here for you. ❤️❤️
I find the boating on your canals very peaceful. You do a nice job narrating the journey. Sorry to hear about your dad. I'm about his age and health issues are a reality for us seniors. Treatments have become very effective. Hope he recovers soon. At the same time don't forget about yourself. You are a lovely young woman, your parents need you.
So sorry to hear about your Dad. My Dad was diagnosed with prostate cancer a few years ago. He’s had all the treatment for it and is checked regularly, and he is doing really well. My Mum, myself and my Sisters were extremely worried and we all shed a few tears, but my Dad was so laid back about it, even though it was tearing us up inside, he remained positive. My heart goes out to you and your family. Best wishes to your Dad and I hope it all goes well for him ❤x
Good meeting you today as you passed Tixall. Just checked your past videos and I must've missed this one, or I would've asked after your Dad's condition. I hope he's improving.
Two people connected to me already this year have been tested for Cancer, both quite young as well! Thank you for opening up and sharing your dads story. Best wishes Matt.
Betty, I am sorry to hear about your dad's cancer. my dad and two uncles all died from cancer with in 5 months period.I know it's hard stay healthy and strong and spend as much Time as you can with him.🤗 I am praying for you and your family,for your dad's healing .🙏.
Very sorry to hear your news. Best wishes to you, your Dad and family. Very gracious of you to take the time in this vlog to remind others to get tested from time to time. Keep safe. Make as many or as few vlogs as your comfortable with.
Hi so sorry to hear about you dad I am a former cancer patient who lives near wolves some good hospitals and after care there I hope everything goes well for him good luck wish him we'll
Sorry to hear about your Dad. Stay positive! Hopefully they caught the cancer in time and he will recover soon. Loved the video of him, looks like a great Dad! 😢❤
Thank you for allowing us to know such a personal and delicate part of your life. There's a river not from home here that I've often compared in some way to life, always moving, always carrying forward even with the world changing and in motion around it. And you being on your boat, speaking of your father as you move down the canal has a poetry about it. I'm glad that your Dad has a loving family surrounding him. I'll be praying for him from America! God bless!
I'm so sorry, Betty. My heart goes out to you, your dad & your mum. I've just finished the Billy Connolly biography. He had prostrate cancer & beat it. So try & be as positive as you can & tell your Dad we're thinking of him. 🙋
I do admire you making this announcement regarding dads diagnosis, it is so worrying it takes over your life, stay strong and best wishes for your parents health. I do know your dad would be so proud of your endeavours, operating a narrow boat and producing a wonderful video for all to enjoy.
Nice to see you back Betty. I'm 73 so it's always a potential for us blokes. All the best to you and your Dad. I always enjoy your vids, down to earth in this crazy world.
Ageing parents with health issues are a big worry. Been through it myself. It often helps to share and just talk it out, and find you aren't alone. I totally understand what you said about being on the move. I find it very soothing and great for my head.
Wonderful video. Thank you for sharing. You are very brave opening up to us. Yes, we are strangers, but oh my…we are all going through life together and it’s hard sometimes. We need each other. You are a loving person and your dad is fortunate to have you by his side when he needs you. I had prostate cancer surgery a couple months ago. It’s a traumatic thing to learn you have cancer, so I feel for you and your family and pray peace and comfort for you all. One day at a time.
I'm really sorry to hear about your Dad Betty and really hope he feels better soon. The treatments for it now are amazing, so I will keep him in my thoughts. Don't apologise for not posting videos, we can wait!
I love your dress. Its so beautiful as you also. I had prostata cancer 2011 and they took it all away. But 2021 there was again cancer in same place. I got radiotheraby every working days for eight weeks. And now everything is ok. I know your dad will make it. Your dad must be very happy of you because you love him so much. I hope best for you dad and you❤ Greetings you both from Finland
One of my friends fathers has had prostate cancer for 10 years, I know every case is different but he’s done ok! Cancer treatments seem to have progressed so much over the years! I wish you and your father well!
So sorry to hear that your Dad is unwell Betty. Keep hoping, as they can do wonders nowadays 🤞🏻 You do what you need to do with your family and stay strong. Much love to you ❤️
Hi Betty, so sorry to hear about your father, I do hope his treatment works out for him. I fully understand that you need to be with your family at a time like this. My heart goes out to you all, and pray that all works out well. Thank you for sharing that with us, that must have been very hard for you to do, very emotional time for you. All the very best, 🎉

A pal of mine has had prostate cancer and has come through treatment and doing well,do try to keep positive,and yes testing is so important,my cancer was picked up on an unrelated blood test by my brilliant GP. Best wishes to your dad.
Prayers from across the pond for your family.
I lost my dad to prostate cancer a couple of years ago so this hits home. I ll be praying for you and your family. Your a very special person & I enjoy watching your videos!
Thanks for sharing Betty, it must have been difficult. I’m going to look at having a test, no symptoms, but you’ve convinced me it’s important to check.
I can relate to this, Betty. I am awaiting the results of my biopsy, next week I hope. All I can say is, if your old enough to get checked, DO IT. I can assure you, you do not want to go for a biopsy, as I'm sure Betty, your dad would agree. Update. After waiting 5wks (I was told it would be 3) for my results, I was given the all clear. That makes up for the loss of my dignity, if I had any in the first place.
Hi Betty, thank you for the update and my thoughts and best wishes to both of your parents. I hope you managed to get the engine serviced and I look forward to your next update whenever you manage to do it.
Hey Betty, talking is great and we are all here to listen and support. Been through this myself with both my parents so my heart goes out to you.
Take care of yourself, Iain
Hi Betty
That’s such a shock.
Was just expecting to see you and a swan on the canal with you losing your hat and finding a stray cat.
Hopefully your dad’s treatment will sort it out and you can get him to join you on your boat for some adventures when he is on the mend.
You have such a lot of warmth, love and support on this channel that wishes your dad a full recovery.
What horrible news for you and your family. Wishing you all the best from the Netherlands. Stay strong Betty.
Each of us go through something similar to this. Each of us deal with it in different ways. Its OK. Thanks for sharing, and good luck to you and your family.
Feeling anxiety about what I'm about to watch? 😬
Edit : rooting for your dad, my grandad went through it a couple of times.
Treatment has come along way in recent times, fingers crossed you can all smile about this in the near future ❤️
Thank you for continuing to take us on your journeys sharing your news with us. Sending much love to You, your Mom and your Dad and I hope he hears good news soon. Film as much or as little as you want to. I'm sure all of your subscribers will be here for you and your family ❤
Betty I am so sorry to hear this. Our prayers go to your dad . And to you again truly sorry to hear this .
Sorry to hear about your farther, wish him well and a good recovery. All my love and support to you.
Hello Betty. I would like to say how much my wife and I are enjoying your vlogs, you're really a nice person to follow, Thanks for sharing time with us.. Like your dad, I had prostate cancer about 9 years ago, but it was dealt with at the time and I am fine, so, wishing your dad all the very best. Good luck !
Thank-you for your openness and I am deeply saddened to hear to hear the your father is ill. My cousin had/has (?) prostate cancer, he was quite unwell for a for a few years, but after the treatment, he is now better, improving anyway. We are still waiting for the all-clear, but we are quietly confident. Sending you all my wishes in this painful and worrying time. I wish him, you all, well.
Hi Betty,so, so sorry to hear about your dad. I wish him all the best in his fight with cancer. My ears pricked up when I heard you mention the Kings Bromley Marina. On your video, on your right was the old Leavlite factory where my dad worked, and as you were reversing, I could see the top of our white house where we used to live !!! The bridge ahead of you was where I used to catch the school bus to litchfield to attend Aelfgar school. You bring to Australia so many memories Betty, can't thank you enough.
Thoughts and prayers to yourself and family during these difficult times. Take care, look after yourself from Marty in Oz x
Hi Betty, so sorry for your families news, cancer affects the whole family as I found out 2years ago with throat cancer. You’re doing the right thing in my opinion, be near your parents and I wish your dad the best of luck with the incoming results and the treatment he’s going to get. X
Good luck to you, your dad and whole family. My dad had prostate cancer about 6 years ago. He is still with us and is still fighting fit. So keep positive, and stay strong. Well done for sharing - it may help somebody else.
So sorry to hear your dad's condition I lost my brother 2 years ago to prostate cancer, he did not seek treatment til it was too late please tell everyone to seek treatment as soon as you realise your unwell or go and ask your GP to get checked early as it is treatable in its early stages❤ hope everything goes well for you!
Im sorry to hear your bad news Betty. I know how devastating it is. Ive lost all my family to cancer. Im a nhs worker too and work in a cancer clinic. Its good your spreading the word about prostrate cancer. Hope your dad gets bettee news and his treatment goes well. Big hugs lovely x
Sending lots of love to you and your family, I've gone through cancer myself. So I know how you are all feeling. Wishing your Dad well.
Missed you these past weeks, sorry to hear about your dad. Prayers for him, your mom & you. Make your videos as you like, will wait & watch.
Lots of thoughts and love are with your Dad, and with you ❤❤
Thank you!
Really sorry to hear your news, hope your dad makes a full recovery, he seems lovely from the videos you shared. Nice that he's a canal so you can be closer. Great idea making people aware of something we should all be checking anyway but probably don't. Looking forward to more videos when you have the time. Much love from sunny Skegness!
Thank you for posting this video Betty and for sharing your news with us . I wish your dad well . I am so happy that you are a close family . See you soon .
So sorry to hear! All the way from across the pond, our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family!
I had prostate cancer 14yrs ago, I went to the Drs for another ailment but they found the cancer doing another test. They removed 20% of the prostate and everything good now.
Positive mindset at all times got me through the dark times and there was a few of them!!
Sending love to you,your mum & positive vibes to your dad 🙏❤️
It's hard to open up in person. I feel that when i chat with others, i dont know, it's a comfort thats different, a peace i guess. Telling people you never met is strange i agree. But there are so many good people, good hearts who understand and know how you feel who gives support from a different angle.
Bless you Betty you had this 60yr old man in tears for you and your dad.Great message in here for us as men as we often forget about ourselves in everyday life.Good wishes to you and family from ours here in Australia.xx
so sorry to hear about your dad,it is good that you are going to be near him and your mum for the foreseeable,its good that you are going to continue to make the videos as that will help to keep you grounded.sending you all my love and a big hug,all of us following you will be keeping your family in our thoughts.xxxx
Love your videos and am so sorry to hear of the shock diagnosis for your Dad. Sending healing vibes to your Dad and best wishes to you and your Mum who I am sure will be pleased to know you are near at this stressful time.
So sorry Betty to hear about your dad. Treatment nowadays is very good so he will be in the best hands. Thoughts and big hugs to you and you have loads of folk out here who are supporting you. If you feel the need to talk, I am here for you. ❤️❤️
I find the boating on your canals very peaceful. You do a nice job narrating the journey. Sorry to hear about your dad. I'm about his age and health issues are a reality for us seniors. Treatments have become very effective. Hope he recovers soon. At the same time don't forget about yourself. You are a lovely young woman, your parents need you.
Thank you, we're all feeling much more positive now and his treatment seems to be going well so far.
So sorry to hear about your Dad. My Dad was diagnosed with prostate cancer a few years ago. He’s had all the treatment for it and is checked regularly, and he is doing really well. My Mum, myself and my Sisters were extremely worried and we all shed a few tears, but my Dad was so laid back about it, even though it was tearing us up inside, he remained positive. My heart goes out to you and your family. Best wishes to your Dad and I hope it all goes well for him ❤x
Good meeting you today as you passed Tixall. Just checked your past videos and I must've missed this one, or I would've asked after your Dad's condition. I hope he's improving.
Two people connected to me already this year have been tested for Cancer, both quite young as well! Thank you for opening up and sharing your dads story. Best wishes Matt.

These things are really difficult to share and talk about but thank you for doing so and raising awareness.
Very sorry to hear your news. Best wishes to you, your Dad and family. Very gracious of you to take the time in this vlog to remind others to get tested from time to time. Keep safe. Make as many or as few vlogs as your comfortable with.
Hi so sorry to hear about you dad I am a former cancer patient who lives near wolves some good hospitals and after care there I hope everything goes well for him good luck wish him we'll
Sorry to hear about your Dad. Stay positive! Hopefully they caught the cancer in time and he will recover soon. Loved the video of him, looks like a great Dad! 😢❤
Thank you for allowing us to know such a personal and delicate part of your life. There's a river not from home here that I've often compared in some way to life, always moving, always carrying forward even with the world changing and in motion around it. And you being on your boat, speaking of your father as you move down the canal has a poetry about it. I'm glad that your Dad has a loving family surrounding him. I'll be praying for him from America! God bless!
I'm so sorry, Betty. My heart goes out to you, your dad & your mum. I've just finished the Billy Connolly biography. He had prostrate cancer & beat it. So try & be as positive as you can & tell your Dad we're thinking of him. 🙋
I do admire you making this announcement regarding dads diagnosis, it is so worrying it takes over your life, stay strong and best wishes for your parents health. I do know your dad would be so proud of your endeavours, operating a narrow boat and producing a wonderful video for all to enjoy.
Thank you, that's very kind!
I’m so sorry for you and your family. Cherish every day you have together. Sending big hugs!
I am in the middle of heartbreak and grief... Your video has given me more strength and I'm really grateful for that. Thank you. David
Nice to see you back Betty. I'm 73 so it's always a potential for us blokes. All the best to you and your Dad. I always enjoy your vids, down to earth in this crazy world.
Thank you for sharing your news. I hope every success for your dad with his treatments. Enjoy every day x
Ageing parents with health issues are a big worry. Been through it myself. It often helps to share and just talk it out, and find you aren't alone. I totally understand what you said about being on the move. I find it very soothing and great for my head.
Wishing you and your family all the best. Prayers for your Dad from Canada
Wonderful video. Thank you for sharing. You are very brave opening up to us. Yes, we are strangers, but oh my…we are all going through life together and it’s hard sometimes. We need each other. You are a loving person and your dad is fortunate to have you by his side when he needs you. I had prostate cancer surgery a couple months ago. It’s a traumatic thing to learn you have cancer, so I feel for you and your family and pray peace and comfort for you all. One day at a time.
I'm really sorry to hear about your Dad Betty and really hope he feels better soon. The treatments for it now are amazing, so I will keep him in my thoughts. Don't apologise for not posting videos, we can wait!
God Bless you and your family, Betty. Stay positive and take comfort in the peace and tranquility of your boat.
I love your dress. Its so beautiful as you also. I had prostata cancer 2011 and they took it all away. But 2021 there was again cancer in same place. I got radiotheraby every working days for eight weeks. And now everything is ok. I know your dad will make it. Your dad must be very happy of you because you love him so much. I hope best for you dad and you❤ Greetings you both from Finland
So sorry to hear about your dad. Thinking of you all with love from Scotland,. x
One of my friends fathers has had prostate cancer for 10 years, I know every case is different but he’s done ok! Cancer treatments seem to have progressed so much over the years! I wish you and your father well!
So sorry to hear that your Dad is unwell Betty. Keep hoping, as they can do wonders nowadays 🤞🏻 You do what you need to do with your family and stay strong. Much love to you ❤️
Hi Betty, so sorry to hear about your father, I do hope his treatment works out for him. I fully understand that you need to be with your family at a time like this. My heart goes out to you all, and pray that all works out well. Thank you for sharing that with us, that must have been very hard for you to do, very emotional time for you. All the very best, 🎉
