  • Well sadly I'm on this journey with you all now. Been reading through the threads last few weeks and plucked up courage to join.
  • Gleeson 4+3
  • Psa 34
  • 16 of 21 samples positive.
  • Not had too much of an explanation of things so far maybe my fault for not asking but how do you know what to ask when that news hits.

What to expect next i guess. Just had bone scan and CTscan booked later this week.

What am I looking at and what do I need to ask?

  • Hi jdi, and a warm welcome and big well done in posting, but sorry you've found yourself here. 

    Your stats in themselves are ok, Gleason 4+3, if caught early enough, has a very good chance of cure, or being treatable for many many years, your consultants, because of your stats, will be waiting for all results to suggest a treatment plan. Though I would be asking why treatment hasn't started yet, when you will see an oncologist,  a list of all treatment options even ones not available at your hospital, a copy of all minutes and scans, and ask about genetic testing too, I'm sure guys who are/were 4+3, will be along to give you their experiences and knowledge.

    Best wishes.
