First steps

Less than one minute read time.

Hi,

I'm aged 60 and have just been diagnosed with locally advanced prostate cancer following a chance PSA test which revealed my reading to be ten times higher than it should have been - a reading my GP described as "alarmingly high."

So far I've had various bone scans etc which seem to suggest the cancer hasn't yet spread to the rest of my body but my surgeon suggests the chances of this not happening are "dicey."

Anyone else had this high as reading as I'm trying to see through all the medical jargon and get an idea of the prognosis for survival. I've just started on hormone treatment.

Cheers for any advice!
