Dad has been diagnosed with prostate cancer state t2c, Gleason 7 4&3, psa is 13, clear bone scan.
It has been 5.5 weeks since biopsy results in which he got diagnosed.
Today he got a phone call to say he has to go to an appointment on Monday to talk to the team - they didn’t go into more detail than this.
Is this normal? Is it a pre treatment discussion? Afraid of more bad news so just hoping it won’t be anything too taxing right before Xmas..
any advice

Hello Concerneddaughter13fd2e84
It sounds to me following the clear bone scan - the MDT meeting has now come up with a treatment plan for dad and that's the meeting on Monday. He may well be offered one type of treatment or a choice of treatments and you don't have to make that choice at the meeting so don't feel rushed, he's not got an aggressive cancer and a little more time to pick the correct treatment path for him won't matter.
It's best if someone goes with dad to the meeting - 4 ears are better than two, and have a list of your questions ready - here's a list that may help you put these together:
Questions-to-ask-your-healthcare-team.
Don't forget to ask for a copy of the meeting notes to be sent to you.
I hope all goes well on Monday - do let us know how dad gets on.
Best wishes - Brian.
