New diagnosis

He might mean Gleason score is 3+4=7, but can't be sure, any future meetings go with him 2heads are better than 1 also ask for a copy of any letters sent to gp to be sent to you.

Morning,

Hopefully your Dad is in the early stages.  It's the waiting and not knowing that got to me, "fear of the unknown" as I put it.

The 1st September will soon be here.  As Ulls said, go with him to the appointment.  I'm glad I had my partner with me as I couldn't take it all in.  She's been with me on all of my Cancer appointments (apart from the Radiation treatment, you just can't share some things).

Had my PSA levels done last night in readiness for my Oncologist appointment in 2 weeks.

Hope it all goes smoothly for your Dad and yourself.  It's family that have to deal with all of this also.  Be strong for him.

I couldn't talk about it to anyone at first, now I can't stop.

I've noticed you response to everyone, about their problems and just can't resist a chat, great isn't if.

All the best Ulls 

Around 6 weeks ago I was advising a group of guy's at the club about getting checked out, on Tuesday a pint was put in front of my and he said thanks, his wife gave me a hug, told me I'd saved his life, he does have cancer but very early so high possible he will be ok,

Talking works, so keep on doing my friend.

All the best Ulls

I can't help myself, it's addictive.  I know that I am still basically a PC Virgin (only 15 months).

Now I feel that I can try to help to advise newly diagnosed men through my experiences.

If anything I say can help anyone or their partners...  I know that I can waffle on and on.....

I had my 6 monthly PSA test yesterday.  Got the results already 0.03  Pretty Chuffed with that!!!

Hi Steve, I'm not much ahead of you at 17 months, your PSA result is fantastic long may it stay that low, I'm really pleased for you, made my day 

Ulls

I remember last year when I first started on Macmillan, you were one of the first to reply to me.

This means a lot, we're not going through this alone.

That's right, others helped me so I try to give new people the same help, I'm on 3groups this one, incurable and bone cancer, sometimes my in box gets busy, add to that the private text message, some days my wife thinks she is a McMillan widow 

Congratulations Stevecam, I hope your PSA stays low for a long time.

Hi LScott.Yes get as much information as possible.The guys on here are brilliant they helped me ,there is always someone on here that can answer any queries you may have. I know it's so frustrating not knowing anything but try to stay positive I too had a Gleason score of 3+4. I have started my first round of treatment yesterday. Anyway hope you and your dad are in good spirits remember we are all in this together .     Pete
