MRI scan results

Hi Geminikev, I was diagnosed T3 in 2018 and you will find a lot of the support you get from people on this site have the same and have been around a lot longer than me.I think i can speak for most when i say the initial diagnosis time is very harrowing for all. I did speak with a councilor at our local charity and felt that helped sort out my feelings up until then I had laughed at the idea of counselling but talking to someone outside the family I found to be easier. After the Biopsy they will sort out a plan for your treatment and then things get easier. Try to stay as positive as you can and good luck with your future results and treatment. 

Best regards Reg

Hi

We’ve all been through this, I have to admit my wife was inconsolable, I’m such an easy going person, that I was just wanting to know what treatment I was to receive. Fortunately I was put on a trial and nearly six years later, here I am helping people letting them know, there’s many treatments out there, the staff are brilliant at sorting things out for you.

Your case, once all the facts are viewed, are looked at by a specialist nurses and oncologists coming up with the best way to treat you. With me I just depended on those who have seen all this before, and I have seen them still every three months.

Apart from the mri did they take your blood if so what was your PSA ? 

Try and make sure your family knows, there’s treatments out there that’s  if you cancer, it’s very slow to progress, on here we always say stay positive, it’s half the battle, we all know you and your family are worried, but there will people ready to help you, we’re always here if you you need answers.

Stay safe

Joe

Hi G 

I know that it's difficult when first diagnosed but all is not lost.

To start with, stop thinks things like how long have I got, with T3 hopefully years.

Best thing is to gather as much info as u can, in particular when u have biopsy results, then furnished with PSA, Gleeson score and any other info come back here and we can give u advice based on that info.

Try and push for the biopsy as soon as poss because that will help your mind when u have more info 

Best wishes

Steve

Hi reg, thank you for your advice  much appreciated.  Calmer tonight now its sunk it. Call from hospital today, they've had a cancellation and can do the biopsy next Thursday. Better then waiting for a few more weeks. Thanks. Kevin

Thanks Steve appreciate your advice. As it happens I had call from hospital today, there's been a cancellation so they can do biopsy next Thursday rather then wait till end of month. Once I have results I'll come back here.  Hopefully they won't take to long to come back. Thanks, Kevin

Hi Joe,back last year I thought I had a water infection,  went for blood tests   pca was 8.2,   6 months later it was 7.8. A few weeks back it was 7.2. Saw consultant 2 weeks ago, he found the prostrate to be a little enlarged, smooth, no lumps or bumps .  Send me for a mri and results came back t3. So biopsy next stop,  end of month  call today from hospital , there was a cancellation so can be done next Thursday.  Hopefully results won't take to long to come back.  Yesterday my head was all over the place, thinking of the worse scenario, to the best. Was putting myself in early grave in some thoughts. Your head spins. Luckily today I feel calmer. I'll let you know what happens. Thanks, Kevin
