We were just informed yesterday my husband has a grade 3 prostate cancer.

Very sorry to hear your news and welcome to the forum,I’m new here as well in early stages Gleason 3+4 and awaiting treatment,it was a shock to us although not as advanced as your diagnosis it’s still a nervous time and not ashamed to say me and my Wife had a good cry when I was told but have come to terms with it now,everyone on here are very supportive and will help with anything,take care xxx

I am a grown child of a 70 y/o diagnosed yesterday. I am so grateful my mother kept me in the loop and encouraged my dad to be open about his results right from when his PSA started rising. I am in pain but the only thing that helps is believing I can be of service to them both - not just him - and I bet your kids feel the same. Sending a big hug.

I will do that! Thank you so much!

Thank you so much! We are reeling a bit but regrouping and understanding our options. It gives me so much comfort to know we won’t be alone!

Hi Poodlemom,

I am the partner of a man going though the prostate cancer "thing" and it was hard to tell our grown children but I keep my children up to date. I'm sorry you are going through this with your dad, but hopefully once you all know what the treatment options are and what he decides to do, it will give you more strength. The treatments ( we're sadly becoming experts in it now) are so much better than some years ago ( when my dad went through it) and I think things are getting more positive, from what I read. It's also getting lots of publicity, which should mean more fund-raising, more research . It's the waiting for results which is difficult, once the treatment is decided on and started then we just have to get on with it . 

Take care.

I think that’s bang on - we are in a period of waiting to learn few more details about dad’s new “friend” before treatment is finalized! Once he knows what he wants to do - I think it will be easier to get on with it.

The scans show the cancer is unfortunately beyond the capsule but lymph nodes and bones look clean. PSA 6.8. Waiting to hear more.

We are here for you and we hope for a positive outcome Keep us posted Remember you are a member of the Community and we are here for you,
