MRi Scan two lesions in prostate

I'll definitely ask Steve next Friday, hopefully a low gleeson score as he said its just a little poking out of capsule ,so hopefully not aggressive I definitely will come back when I know more information 

Peter

Morning all

Just a question, as I have a t3a prostate cancer will the gleeson score be more likely to be higher 7 and above ? 

Just worried my pet scan isn't until the 22nd November so 3 and a half weeks from mri results hopefully it won't spreading to pelvic area

Hello Peter (Psb2024) 

That's an interesting question and it all depends on the results from the biopsy. I started my journey as a T3aNXM0 Gleason 7 (4+3) and after a biopsy on the "chips" from my TURP operation was "promoted" to a T3aN0M0 Gleason 9 (5+4)!! .

I assume you know how the grading and scores work but here's a link to our guide to this-

I am just coming to the end of my 3 year journey as a T3a and if you click on my user name or avatar you can read all about it - (I did have a couple of other issues like almost dying etc)

I hope this helps.

Best wishes - Brian.

Hi

So pleased you are doing so well and being so positive yourself and to others,,being a community champion is a wonderful thing to do, 

I'm at the start of my journey after finding out unexpectedly while being treated for a over active bladder, 

Psa is 7.7 psa density 0.1 normal lymph nodes normal pelvic area normal bladder and colon results from mri so Friday is biopsy results day ,not sleeping well and very anxious which everyone has gone through on here

Thanks for your reply 

Best wishes

Hello Peter (Psb2024 )

I wish you well with your results on Friday - if it's a face to face meeting it's great to have someone with you as you don't always take everything in in one go - and ask for a copy of the meeting notes.

It all sounds like you will be joining me on the "Curative Pathway".

Best wishes - Brian.

Hi Brain it's a phone call my partner will be with me which is good

Best wishes 

Peter 

Hi Paul 

Got pet scan on the 22nd hopefully nothing else detected fingers crossed on scan, that will be 5 weeks from mri results so worried about spreading, how quick did your hormone treatment start after bone scan ? 

Thanks peter

Hi All
