Hi Timmy2,Now you’ve been diagnosed then hopefully things start moving forward for you,the waiting is the worst as your mind starts working overtime,hope the scan goes fine and the op when it comes ound,keep us all posted good luck

Hi Timmy and sorry to hear 

Just remind us of your PSA.

Always difficult T3a, because just escaped the gland but hopefully/probably nowhere else.  Sometimes I would say go for HT and RT to mop up any stray cancer cells that surgery may not get.

But if u want to get rid of I understand that although don't forget it can still return (obviously hopefully not) but at least if it does u can still have RT which is fairly easy after Surgery but not the other way round ie Surgery after RT.

This is just my opinion and doesn't mean its  right.

Good luck

Steve

Hello and thank you for the update. I hope your scan goes well and then at least you will have the complete picture of what you are dealing with . 

Hi Timmy. Your Gleason is the same as mine although I’m a bit further down the road having had a prostatectomy just over a week ago. Once you’ve had your additional scans you will be in a better position to consider the options available to you. It’s the waiting that drains you, I know but you’re in the best position to get it sorted. I found it useful to meet with both a surgeon and an oncologist to get a balanced view. There are definite pros and cons with both options and it may be helpful to be aware of these. Good luck with your scans. 

Hello Timmy, we all react to a cancer diagnosis but it sounds as if appointments etc are happening in a timely manner for you. I know it’s not the results you wanted to hear but bear in mind that cure/ treatment are much improved and very affective. I hope all goes well with the scans and you can make the right decision for yourself after being given all the info you need. Best of luck!

Hi PSA.  Was 12.1

so, really not too bad, chances are just escaped the gland and nowhere else

so, back to my previous post, surgery or RT choice is yours, make sure you get offered the choice as long as u don't have existing bowel or urinary issues as regards the RT

all the best

Steve
