Thank you both, I’m finding this site difficult to navigate. I tried to reply individually but there was no option to send. Advice on that would be welcome too.
my details were a bit scant. I had a biopsy, which revealed a relatively inert cancer with a Gleason 6 3+3 rating. During active surveillance my PSA rose to 8.4, which prompted an MRI scan. The cancer had spread from one side to the other. It was/is contained inside the prostate.After discussing treatment options with the consultant, I opted for a prostatectomy. It was agreed that the operation would take place within two months of the MRI, this has now been put back to 7 months. The cancer nurse seemed pretty certain that the cancer would still be caught in time. As a precautionary measure I was prescribed 50mg of Bicalutamide to reduce testosterone, reduce my PSA and the further growth of the cancer. Does this make sense? I’m going slightly crazy trying to verify positive outcomes on the web.
