Advice needed

Hi Davo, sorry about your dad

with a PSA of 14 its probably unlikely to have spread to the bones but obviously they have to check. When the Mri and biopsy results are in that will tell u a whole lot more.

In answer to your question about  spread and death sentence, no it's not a death sentence. there is still plenty that they can do ie Chemo and Hormone therapy to hold it at bay for possibly years to come.

Let us know when u have Mri and biopsy results 

best wishes

Thanks Steve. That’s so reassuring. It’s completely knocked us off our feet but we are a strong family and my dad is a warrior so whatever is going to be faced we will do it together. 
I will post when we know more.

best wishes, keep safe Sarah 

Hi there, my partner had a PSA of 45 when diagnosed and had a bone scan which we were told was normal procedure and it was clear.   Try not to worry, I know it’s easier said than done but it is standard to do a bone scan 

Thank you so much Nellie. This has definitely eased my worry. I hope you and your husband are safe and well x

Best of luck to you all and stay safe too  Xx

Hi Davo  I'm 67 I've just been diagnosed 3 weeks ago and its spread to my ribs and lymph nodes I was really worried but after speaking to my oncologist he said it was very treatable and said I had years infront of me which was reassuring as u automatically think it's all over. I had a bone scan too but as he explained it's to see the extent its spread its standard practice. Good luck with the results but I'm sure hell have plenty more years with you. John
