Hello everyone,

I'm reaching out on behalf of my partner, who has recently received a stage one prostate cancer diagnosis. He is currently facing a challenging decision regarding the most suitable treatment option. It's been a rollercoaster of emotions, and he is feeling overwhelmed and confused.

There are three treatment options available - radiotherapy, surgery, or radioactive seeds - but we're struggling to find comprehensive information and guidance. The information provided during our appointment felt rushed and lacked the reassurance needed during this critical time.

We understand the gravity of this decision and how it will impact my partner's life. However, the lack of reliable information and guidance has caused him immense stress and anxiety, making it even harder to make an informed choice.

I kindly request assistance from anyone that is in same situation in providing us with the necessary information to navigate this decision-making process with insights to compare these treatment options effectively.

Your expertise and guidance would be highly appreciated as we seek to find the best course of action for his situation.

Thank you all 
Paige

  • Hello Paige, can I suggest you post your questions on the prostate community where you will quickly receive plenty of comments and advice. It's quite common to have these questions - my circumstances dictated radiotherapy for specific reasons so it was easy for me to decide but others in the prostate group will be able to let you have more appropriate replies.
