Hi all, my father’s scans look like he has T3aN0M0 prostate cancer. I’m told it seems clear the tumor is past the capsule but that it is not in lymph nodes, bones, nerves, or seminal vesicles and so this is his probably rating pending biopsy. His PSA was just 6.9 a month ago.
I know we technically know nothing until the biopsy is done, and the Gleason score is crucial. I am telling myself not to assume the worst, but unlike when I told myself the scans would show nothing and at worst it would be Stage 1 - I want to be prepared.
If there is anyone on here who has any knowledge or experience to share, that would be lovely.
We are scared and I know the biopsy news might not be good, I’m a bit of a wreck behind the scenes, but I know also that whatever it is, once we know we can get on with it.
Hello Poodlemom I am aware you are awaiting the biopsy. If it's any help I am a T3aN0M0 Gleason 9 (5+4) Initial PSA182. My prostate had grown and I needed a TURP operation before my radiotherapy.
I am 2 years into a 3 year Hormone Therapy journey and you know I am great. - You can read my journey by clicking on my avatar.
So hopefully he will have better results than me. - I have had a bit of a journey but -hey all is looking good.
Think positive and he will be fine - we are all with you and your father here - you are doing great.
Best wishes - Brian.
