Telephone appointment to discuss LH's MRI results booked - worried!

Sorry meant to say good luck for this morning

Thank you for your reply Shar. The problem is that I am guessing they will not speak to me without my husband's consent and I really don't want him to know how much this is freaking me out. He seems calm atm (or he is putting on a good act too! ) so don't want to scare him with my pessimistic thoughts ......

Thank you David

I will keep trying to tell myself that it is good news that there does not seem to be the same degree of urgency as there was at first. Thank you. 

He does have access to his GP records on the app but think they only show if the hospital send them to the GP and they upload them, which from experience can take a while.

thank you again for taking time to reply 

Hello Dogs4me . Your husband has had a bone scan and MRI and the experts have had their MDT meeting so they will have a plan. It is extremely rare for no treatment to be offered and usually applies to the very elderly where things like HT might be counter indicated because of other health complaints. Even aggressive prostate cancer which has spread, as is the case with my husband, can be treated with a whole battery of different things so be positive. I know it is difficult and this is the worst time not knowing what you are facing but things will get better.

Thank you for your reply. I am sorry to hear about your husband but I am glad treatment was offered and is helping him. My problem is that my mind immediately leaps to the worse case scenario; it is as if I can process that then anything better is a bonus.

i have just had a look at his NHS app and the only results on there relate to an ultrasound that the GP arranged before we got the PSA results. It says he has an enlarged prostate (59.5 ml) and some urine retention but that the kidneys and bladder look normal with no focal lesions. A small positive I suppose .....

That is human nature for a lot of us to think the worst but the reality with prostate cancer is that things are not usually as bad as we initially feared. Prostate cancer is a slow growing cancer which will give the experts time to sort out the plan. With a prostate that size you are borderline whether Brachytherapy is an option but other things will be available. Get your husband focused on doing pelvic floor exercises - there is the SQUEEZY APP which can help ensure he does them properly and this will put him in a good position for any future treatment. 

That's really helpful. Thank you
