Prostate cancer

Hi armie, welcome to the forum, your PSA was unusually high but there are many reasons for that,  exercise and sex can really impact your PSA score, after you have your prostate biopsy and MRI you will be told your gleason and T score, I am happy you are getting the right treatment and like everyone one your heads spinning and you have many questions Once you have your test results please get back in touch as your not alone and there are many wonderful people on this forum who have been through it all and would be happy to help you through yours. take care

Hi Thanks eddiel

They haven’t offered a biopsy as the surgeon took a scraping of my bone when he did the operation they sent it to the labs and the consultant said it confirmed it had reached the bone. So I don’t have a Gleason score etc.

And because I am not in any pain at the moment they are holding RT back for me.

Kinda looped over the biopsy and RT

Hi Armie,

Welcome to the forum. This has blown my mind! I just read it out to my partner " bend over and touch your toes" unbelievable. How are you finding Abiraterone? my partners been having for sometime and it's a great drug. It really knocks the cancer back quickly. You can read his journey with it on my profile you are interested. I think you've really knocked everyone out of the park with your score, but there are people on here that have similar high counts at the start. I'm no expert , but it does seem that once you get to a certain number in the 100's and thousands it does seem to be similar overall with treatment. HT is pretty amazing how it stops everything in its tracks and to see you are now 2.5 is impressive stuff. How are you feeling now?

Hi Barry

Thanks for your reply

i am feeling fine it’s weird isn’t it I am still doing weight training in the garage.

my bloods are all ok liver kidneys al fine both treatments seam to be doing the trick.

Bone enzyme getting stronger each blood test..They said it’s in parts of the pelvis and front thighs but no pain really at the moment.All the consultant s are baffled how it didn’t have me floored before it was discovered.

yeah I’ll read your partners story definitely.

Thanks

John

Hi Barry

i read your partner’s story being in the ward is an understatement. To have a low score like that is amazing now.I read on the forum somebody said they were talking to their oncologist and she said we have advanced patients still on their books after 15 years I’m taken that comment go the moment.

I have named my cancer Alex we are both in a boxing ring and I am going to beat him.

Your partners right you have to say f—k it and go for it. As this isn’t fair on us.

I agree! Definitely not fair . It does seem fitness is  a key to doing well though and you are clearly giving “Alex” a good pounding! 

Hello Armie  Welcome to the "club" - late to the show today but I have been out.

What an amazing story - but you are doing fine and that's what counts - so long as the treatment works for you and the cancer is under control and not spreading, that's great.

Feel free to ask any questions you may have and please, keep us updated with your progress.

Best wishes - Brian.
