Bone scan. Driving me mad

Hello Simon (Simon64) 

Gleason 7 - PSA 22 - I am expecting the routine bone scan to be clear and the MDT meeting to give you the various options leading to those two "magical words - curative pathway".

The waiting during the diagnostic period can be hard but once you get a treatment plan everything will settle down to the "new normal" and life will get back to normal. 

Yes - it can play havoc with your mind but instead of thinking of the bone scan results think of this fact - 98% of men diagnosed with Prostate Cancer die WITH it not OF it.

Kind Regards - Brian.

Hi Simon64 , yes waiting is the hardest part, but all your stats are good, so you have no reason to think there is a bigger problem.  My gut feeling is that had the bone scan been bad, your appointment wouldn’t be the end of May.  I would give the team a ring and ask if the scan is clear.  At worst they won’t tell you and at best, you can stop worrying.  David

Cheers all.  Sorry but it was a sangria fuelled rant and needed to let off steam.  As always thanks for all the help i receive from this forum.     Cheers   

Good Morning Simon (Simon64)

Stick to draught bitter - it's a natural product and once I have had enough I fall asleep, much better than anxiety and a rant!! .

Haha.   Cheers Brian.   I’m not a bitter drinker unfortunately.    Cider is my tipple of choice     But when in Rome ( or Spain ).  Etc. 

Oh Dear!!

There was an old lady from Hyde

She ate 59 apples and died

Inside the lamented the apples fermented

And formed cider inside her inside.

"Take a bow son" - I think I will stick to bitter and giving advice about Prostate cancer.

Enjoy your weekend - I think I will take a constitutional this afternoon to "The Railway" for a medicinal "snifter"

(snifter - informal English word for a small quantity of alcohol). - just in case my diabetic nurse ever reads this!!

Kind Regards - Brian.
