Hello!
i have just joined having been diagnosed with prostate cancer aged 56.
The diagnosis was a shock as I don’t feel unwell but I was having some problems with urination (leakage.)
I am Gleason score 8 with 5/5 on both left and right side according to my letter. I have an appointment at Clatterbridge on the 12th of February.
I have been told surgery or radiotherapy is the most likely outcome.
Good Morning Keith (Keith)
