Hi All,

Unfortunately, my Dad has been diagnosed with Prostate Cancer.  They told him over the phone while he was working, so he didn't have a chance to ask questions really, but I have a copy of his report. Please can someone tell me if they have experienced any of the following (I have picked out the parts I recognise from my googling and this page!):

Primary Gleeson score: 4

Secondary Gleason Score 3

Grade Group: 3

Max tumour length: 3mm

PC-Likert score T Stage 2a

Tumour involves less than one half of one lobe of the prostate

Dr briefly mentioned partial or full prostatectomy and hormones +/- radiotherapy 

Please, can someone give me a little bit of insight? He is awaiting a bone scan in the next two weeks. 

Thank you in advance
