I had biopsy today, which wasn’t as bad as I thought it was going to be. The scan doesn’t seem to show that the cancer has spread anywhere else. (Which is a good thing and the thing I was concerned about)
Raised PSA: 121, clinical diagnosis of prostate cancer
MRI shows a 92cc prostate with a right-sided tumour (T3a)(T3a)
Having some tablets to help going to the loo as often during the night. There is another drug, but can’t be supplied/prescribed until I have a scan and fluid injected into my system. (which is to be at Taunton) Then a treatment plan can be implemented. Feeling a lot happier now.
the best of luck to everyone.
Thanks Ged Exe
Hello GedExe
Well if that's all your tests done now it's just waiting for your results and a treatment plan. The good news is the MRI shows it as a T3a and no spread.
However I would still have concerns about the high PSA of 121 (my initial PSA was 182 and I have no spread and a T3a) and the Prostate volume which is double the average size for a man of 65 (I don't know your age). With a large prostate it's worth asking your team if it's interfering with you having a pee and is it growing into your urethra.
