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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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 :).
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.
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 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.
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.
Only hooked to your lovely channel recently. So sorry to hear your news, I lost my Mum to cancer after a short few months and my father has had progressively sight deterioration over the last few years so sympathise wuth what you're going through. Hope outcome is positive for you
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
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 ❤
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.
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
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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!
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.
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.
From Los Angeles, I just found your channel and subscribed. I'll say more about that another time. I lost my dad last year, he was 98. My mother passed many years ago. Seeing your parents suffering with illness is a horrible thing. My very best wishes 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 ❤️
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.😊
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.
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
I am very sorry to hear the news about your father. My wife had breast cancer 22 years ago and is still hail and hearty, myself, I was diagnosed with bowel cancer 3 and a bit years ago. I've had chemo, radiotherapy and surgery and my life is pretty good😅 and normal. Last year I took up archery which I love. Not all cancer disgnosis are terminal, but can be a nuisance, just like a traffic jam on a long drive! Be positive, especially around both parents. I don't pray but I do wish your father all the very best. Walking, cycling and driving your boat will be very therapeutic for you as they will take your mind away from the bad news. Keeping up with the videos will help you too. See you soon.
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.
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
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
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
My Dad had prostate cancer, i genuinely wish your Dad, you and the rest of your family all the best - a lot of people do beat it and have a good long life 🙂
Betty, I am hoping for the best for your father, you, your mother, and the rest of your family. Thank you for sharing your feelings with us. So often, it seems people feel a need to feign bravery through suppressing their feelings. I think it takes a good deal more courage to express them and expose one's vulnerability while doing so. In putting your humanity on display for all to see, we love you all the more for it. Your father must be very proud of the woman you've become. Best wishes.
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...
So sorry to hear about your dad and wish him all the best and hope the treatment works, you have to do whatever it takes but you must look after yourself. Stay strong and I wish you and your family all the best ❤❤
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 ❤️
Betty, can feel your pain and am so sorry for you and your family. Here’s hoping the cancer hasn’t spread. Stay positive for him (and your Mum). Will be thinking of you all and sending positive thoughts. Huge hugs. Terryx
Good evening Betty, sorry to hear about your Dad, just do a video when you can, we understand. I was glad to hear that you are staying on the canals, stay strong, my Best Wishes to all of you. Regards, Andrew.
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.
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 ❤
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 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.
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.
Well done Betty. I don't think anyone will mind when ever you are able to post on here. I think most people find travelling in anything very therapeutic, like you do. I hope it all works out with your father. Thanks for another relaxing video.
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 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.
Sorry to hear about your dad Betty I lost my Dad during COVID so I do feel a bit of what you’re going through, he was diagnosed with prostate cancer in 1996 but he survived that so don’t give up hope, I wish all the very best of luck to you and your family thanks for having the courage to still keep making your brilliant videos,take care
Bless you and your dad. Cancers have been on the rise hugely in the last 3 years, I won't go into why that is, as I'll one be attacked and two it's inappropriate. All I'll say is I wish your dad all the healing possible. I hope for a positive outcome, I know men who have beaten prostate cancer. Stay strong your videos are amazing
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.
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
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 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 I've only watched 2 of your posts before .. So you know a total stranger from New Zealand heard and listened to you talk about your Dad I wish you and family all the best. My Dad is from the UK so take a interest in country side towns and names off the beaten track. So your doing a fantastic job take care.

Thank you for sharing what you're going through at the moment. I really hope your dad pulls through.
Keep your chin up and best wishes with your Dad.

Happened to me 8 years and 5 months ago. Age 55.

God Bless you and your family, Betty. Stay positive and take comfort in the peace and tranquility of your boat.
Sorry to hear about your farther, wish him well and a good recovery. All my love and support to you.
I am very sorry to hear the news about your father. My wife had breast cancer 22 years ago and is still hail and hearty, myself, I was diagnosed with bowel cancer 3 and a bit years ago. I've had chemo, radiotherapy and surgery and my life is pretty good😅 and normal. Last year I took up archery which I love. Not all cancer disgnosis are terminal, but can be a nuisance, just like a traffic jam on a long drive! Be positive, especially around both parents. I don't pray but I do wish your father all the very best. Walking, cycling and driving your boat will be very therapeutic for you as they will take your mind away from the bad news. Keeping up with the videos will help you too. See you soon.
So sorry to hear! All the way from across the pond, our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family!
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.
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
Bless you and your family at this time. X
Thank you!
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

We here in Germany are thinking of you! 😟
♥ All the best for your dad, Betty. Hope the treatment goes well.
Best Wishes to you and family, hope everything goes well
Betty, I am hoping for the best for your father, you, your mother, and the rest of your family. Thank you for sharing your feelings with us. So often, it seems people feel a need to feign bravery through suppressing their feelings. I think it takes a good deal more courage to express them and expose one's vulnerability while doing so. In putting your humanity on display for all to see, we love you all the more for it. Your father must be very proud of the woman you've become. Best wishes.
All the best. Hope the tests and treatment goes well. ❤
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...
So sorry to hear about your dad and wish him all the best and hope the treatment works, you have to do whatever it takes but you must look after yourself. Stay strong and I wish you and your family all the best ❤❤
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 ❤️
Betty, can feel your pain and am so sorry for you and your family. Here’s hoping the cancer hasn’t spread. Stay positive for him (and your Mum). Will be thinking of you all and sending positive thoughts. Huge hugs. Terryx
I've been in a similar position to you, I can feel your pain, your a lovely person think positively and take care.
Good evening Betty, sorry to hear about your Dad, just do a video when you can, we understand. I was glad to hear that you are staying on the canals, stay strong, my Best Wishes to all of you. Regards, Andrew.
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.
I'm sorry you've had medical problems too. Thank you for your best wishes.
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 ❤
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 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!
Praying for your dad and you and your family
Thank you!
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.
Well done Betty. I don't think anyone will mind when ever you are able to post on here. I think most people find travelling in anything very therapeutic, like you do. I hope it all works out with your father. Thanks for another relaxing video.
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.
All the best to you your father and family, Betty.
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.
Sorry to hear about your dad Betty I lost my Dad during COVID so I do feel a bit of what you’re going through, he was diagnosed with prostate cancer in 1996 but he survived that so don’t give up hope, I wish all the very best of luck to you and your family thanks for having the courage to still keep making your brilliant videos,take care
Thank you for sharing such a personal part of you and your family's life ❤ God bless you all 🙏🏼
Sorry to hear about your dad, wishing him , your family and you all the best.
Bless you and your dad. Cancers have been on the rise hugely in the last 3 years, I won't go into why that is, as I'll one be attacked and two it's inappropriate. All I'll say is I wish your dad all the healing possible. I hope for a positive outcome, I know men who have beaten prostate cancer. Stay strong your videos are amazing
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.
Bless you & your family ❤️
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
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!
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.
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 I've only watched 2 of your posts before .. So you know a total stranger from New Zealand heard and listened to you talk about your Dad I wish you and family all the best. My Dad is from the UK so take a interest in country side towns and names off the beaten track. So your doing a fantastic job take care.
Thank you, we're all doing OK. I'm continuing my journey now so I hope you find it interesting to watch.
