Hello all,unfortunately just been diagnosed with PC,went for a routine GP appointment beginning of May and mentioned i had just turned 58 and have never had a PSA test,surprised the GP said no problem we can do a digital exam now wich was fine he said,had blood test...came back 12.5 fast track referral,four days later MRI, results two days later PIRADS 4,three days later Biopsy then agonising three week wait for results. Cancer Nurse confirmed Gleason 3+3 T2C/T3 (Tumor up against prostate edge,not sure of capsule breach ????) All treatment options available to me ,MDT favours Active Surveillance !!!! I would have thought with a PSA of 12.5 and T2C possible T3A that surgery or radiotherapy would be the way to go ? Woul there be a possibility the biopsy did not pick up higher grade cells ? I will be seeing the Surgical Consultant next week (cant fault Bristol NHS for the speed of my diagnosis) Is it true you can refuse Active Surveillance and ask for surgery or radiotherapy.
