Diagnosed at 41

*correction - stage 2*

Hi Fred and welcome

I didn't think that you could get PC at that age, u may be a first although I do admit not much to celebrate about.

This sounds like a non aggressive type although u don't give a PSa or Gleeson, do u have these?

I would take your time and not rush into surgery, u don't want to be thinking about possible  ED at 41?

hopefully if the stats are low and the tumour is confined to the prostate u could go on active surveillance for a while.

try and get some more details of your diagnosis and let us know, there are plenty of people on here to give u good advice.

best wishes

Steve

Thanks Fred. I wouldn’t be surprised if it started in my 30s but I was turned down by the GP as they said I was too young! If it’s happened to me then I guess it could happen to anyone although I do have family history.

PSA before biopsy was 10.1 and Gleason score is 7. 

Ok Fred, sorry to hear.

Try and do some research online about different avenues u can go down  ie AS, surgery, Radiotherapy.

Looks like time is on your side anyway

Sorry to hear about your diagnosis Fred. There appear to be a number of younger men being diagnosed. With Gleason 7 much depends on where the tumours are. If they are near the edge or making their way towards it prostatectomy would be better sooner rather than later.
