Hi all I'm new to the Community and I was diagnosed with prostate cancer. It was a shock when I was told the biopsy results, I am on active surveillance at the moment but all this is so scary and uncertainty.
Hi Pedrocas and a very warm welcome to the online community which I hope you'll find is both an informative and supportive place to be.
I'm really sorry to read that you've recently been diagnosed with prostate cancer, and I do understand what a shock having a cancer diagnosis is.
As the online community is divided up into different support groups, I'm going to recommend that you join the prostate cancer group, which is a great place to ask questions, share experiences and get support from others with a similar diagnosis.
To join just click on the link I've provided which will take you directly to the group. You can then join and start a new post in the same way as you did here and join in with exiting conversations by clicking on 'reply.
When you feel up to it, it would be great if you could pop something about your diagnosis and treatment so far into your profile as it really helps others when replying to you and also when looking for someone on a similar pathway. It also means that you don't have to keep repeating yourself. To do this click on your username and then select 'Profile'. You can amend it at any time and if you're not sure what to write you can take a look at mine by clicking on my username.
