Prostate soread

Hi

I have to admit, if this was me, I would definitely ring them back and ask for a better explanation, as you’re not understanding what this means on moving forward.

Stay safe

I have spoke to secretary and waiting to see if consultant will phone back. Most bizarre description.. just wondering if it means the tumour has spread within the prostate but not to lymph nodes. 
suppose will have to wait and see 

Hi June

I know it’s Friday, but don’t wait to long, things have a tendency to be put back, has he had any treatment ? Are they certain it’s prostate cancer, biopsies can take a few weeks to come through, sometimes longer, but if you’ve not had a call by Wednesday I would phone again, be a pest but be tactful, they are busy.

Stay safe

Joe

No he just got a call yesterday saying his ct scan was clear but mri definetly shown cancer contained in prostate but it had moved. 
he not getting his biopsy’s till 11/3

my husband asked if it could be benign and he said no it is definitely cancer don’t know how they can tell this maybe the ct scan shows more alongside mri. he gets his bone scan on Monday but consultant confident it will be clear. 

hecwas told ge will take about 1 week to recover from biopsy’s as we were looking to go away for 1 week but has been advised not too so don’t know what to think as I would imagine biopsy result would take few weeks. 

they seem to be rushing everything through. 

he did say to him that will discuss possible treatments once biopsy’s been done 

Bit strange that one, not heard of cancer moving around, just growing, I would clarify with them , also worth asking about tumour size in mm, that can tell u a fair bit.

Didn't think u could say Def cancer before biopsy but perhaps u can.

Either way, it's good that contained and does make it easier to treat.

Good luck

Aww I know his secretary just phoned me back saying he can’t call me back as he has spoken to husband and will speak to us both at follow up appointment 16/3. 
which I don’t suppose he will have any more information as biopsy on 11/3.

that’s why I wanted to speak to him as my husband wasn’t taking in information well and forgot to ask him how he can be sure it’s cancer. 

must be due to seeing mri scan and ct scan. 

hecsaid he was saying it’s in house and has moved into the garage but not to the neighbours. 
I am reading between the lines and guessing the prostate is the house, possibly the prostate capsule is the garage and the neighbours are the lymph nodes? But I am just speculating.

Even at our first consultation he was pretty much adamant it was cancer just with his psa, DRE and urine symptoms. 
but husband did ask him yesterday if could still be benign and he said no it’s cancer. 
need trust what he says but yes we are relieved it’s contained. 

Yes, could be right up against the gland edge, neighbours house could be seminal vesicles, but why put it like that.

Not sure what would mean if in neighbours outbuilding

I know my husband said he just kept on repeating it but would be easier if he explained in technical terms instead of round the houses

not a laughing matter but has just left confusion doesn’t help I have read so much forums but have struggled to work out this description. 

so in your experience let’s say it is on gkabdcedge is that classed as locally advanced and would surgery or radio therapy be offered. 

My tumour started off at 3mm and increased to 13mm by the time treatment started in 2017.

The tumour had reached the gland edge by then but still classed as Stage T2.

If near the gland edge then could be better off with Radiotherapy to help mop up any stray cells.

Think u need a bit more info before making a decision, IE biopsy results.
