Writing into the group again — I do find it to be a really good support.
My dad has a bone scan on Monday, and we’re all quite worried as he’s had groin and thigh pain since July. At his biopsy, the urologist thought the pain was likely due to sciatica. At his results appointment, the nurse gave him a folder with information about early prostate cancer, along with leaflets on surgery and radiation, and advised him to think about his options. She mentioned that the bone scan is needed first to be sure and said he meets the criteria for one because he has Gleason 7 (4+3), T2c, PSA 13, with the risk of T3a.
Given this, do you think they are concerned about spread, even though he was told to consider treatment options? I know nothing is certain, but taking his pain and these factors into account, what seems most likely?
Thank you for taking the time to share your story. l wish you many success with the rest of your journey 
The best news today - we got the call this morning to say bone scan was all clear - thank god. The first bit of good news so far on this journey. Plan is to now proceed with radiotherapy in the hopes of curing. Thank you all for the support and advice so far on this journey its been amazing
