Was told on the 9th june had cancer and it was aggressive gleason 8 4+4 , urologist suggested surgery would probably be best after bone scan result.

That was clear got meeting with surgeon/oncologist on 27th but thinking surgery to remove all best.

Any help greatly appreciated.

  • Depending on the full breakdown of your test results, it is possible that you have ALL the options.

    This page gives a lot of information - .www.cancerresearchuk.org/.../decisions-about-your-treatment.  Read through the page and the links and you will understand more about the pros and cons of each option.

     Then the support pages on this website will reinforce that understanding.

    I have 2 friends who have had surgery. One was plain sailing, ticked all the boxes, recovered quickly.

    The other was told after 12 months that the surgeon had not got it all. Now he is going through the same level of radiotherapy that I had.

    Make sure that you make an informed choice, because you will be stronger for it.
