Hi to everyone,sad we have to meet like this but upwards and onwards.I’ve been for all the diagnostics, scan,biopsies,and bone scan,I got my results last week,so from a psa of 7.2 the mri scan showed advanced locally spread so was then sent off for a trans rectal biopsy and the results came back as a stage 3 , grade 5,Gleason 9 (devastated) I was put on hormone treatment straight away and it was suggested I would be getting the new sabre therapy has anyone else had this type of radiotherapy if so how did it go. All this and no symptoms.tia
Hello Jonny five A warm welcome to the prostate Cancer forum (and the Gleason "9" club - I am a member too 
!!).
Yes, it's devastating news but at least you are now diagnosed and have a treatment plan. The hormone therapy will stop any further spread - the RT will kill the cells off- so that's the plan.
Most members of the "club" are the old guard having either 20 or 37 doses of RT but there are a couple of Community members who have had the new fangled 5 doses so I hope they read your post and respond.
I do encourage people to start a diary of their journey - this lets members of the club know just where you are with your treatment - it also helps people to see where you have been as all our journeys are slightly different - you can read mine by clicking on the icon of the beach.
If you have any questions - however trivial please feel free to ask - you will get answers.
Best wishes - Brian.
