I presented with T3b N1 M0 PSA 252 in January 2022.
I had full pelvic radiation, chemotherapy and ADT for three years.
A year later my PSA is now 2.9, so I had a PSMA scan which to my surprise didn’t show any metastatic disease but cancer in the prostate.
I’ve been offered an operation to remove the prostate, which is something they wouldn’t do originally.
I understand only a handful of surgeons will carry this out because of the difficulty involved caused by scar tissue.
People tell me that the side effects are brutal; any thoughts?
Whatever cancer throws your way, we’re right there with you.
We’re here to provide physical, financial and emotional support.
