OK my husband has T3B Prostrate Cancer, Gleason score 3+4 =7 He’s been offered surgery or hormone treatment with radiotherapy. They are also putting him forward for a trial which means he is fast tracked for the surgery as at the minute there is an eight month waiting list . He needs to get a PET scan to make sure there no lymph nodes involved and it’s not anywhere else to get access to the trial. The guy also said that he will now arrange appointments with the surgeon and oncologist with the view to a curative pathway although cannot guarantees . He might need radiotherapy after the surgery or chemo . But they are definitely looking at removing all the cancer. They don’t have any appointment until middle of July for the surgeon . So it’s just a waiting game . I wasn’t pleased with the time scale so he said get in touch with the government. Asked about going private and he said wait till we see if he gets onto the trial . Xx
