Still waiting

Hi Loobjo

In answer to your last question life is the same as before especially if you have a fairly easy to treat PC.

After treatment as long as no long lasting side effects you do get back to normal.

As far as your biopsy result surprising it's taking so so long, normally 2-4 weeks,  possibly now it's gone 4 week give them a ring and ask

You don't give any stats like PSA,  MRI report so difficult to predict but Gleeson 6/7 easy to treat 8 onwards can get a bit trickier but depends a lot on the other stats.

All the best

Thank you . This is all the info we got after mri Psa12.7 pirads5 abnormality found in left hemi transition zone , prostate gland volume 31cc density 0.41 . I’ll get him to give them a call thanks for advice . This is a great forum 

So , on the face of it doesn't look too bad 

Looks like contained with a not too high Psa.

Probably end up , well hopefully,  being a lowish Gleeson so easy to treat and potentially curable.

Good luck

Hello Loobjo 

Life with Prostate Cancer is great - you just get on with it, yes you have to make a few adjustments, but you don't walk down the street with a big sign - "I have cancer".  Once you get past the diagnostic stage, you know your husbands PSA, Gleason Score and TNM stage - you will have a treatment plan and life will continue - with small adjustments.

All hospital trusts are different with results, some results appear on your NHS App, some at your GP's but they are normally back within 3 weeks. Your husband's case will be the subject of an MDT meeting to discuss his results and then you should have either a telephone or face to face appointment to get them and discuss a treatment plan.

There's no harm in ringing your urology department to tell them you have anxiety and are his results available yet.

I do hope this helps.

Best wishes - Brian.
