Hi all, I’m 58 and have been recently been diagnosed with PC . My PSA is 203, last week a had CT and bone scans plus a biopsy. I know only that my bone scan was okay, waiting for an appointment with my team to find out how aggressive or not the cancer is . I decided to have my prostate removed but after my biopsy my consultant said he didn’t think that would be an option for me because of my PSA number.I was disappointed because I thought that it would eradicate my cancer, I would like to ask anyone out there that may have some advice that have experienced this as it is completely new to me.. I would like to thank Victoria for helping me today.
Hi Tony I am 7 weeks post op for prosectomy and doing ok but reading with interest about the ED , the incontinence is slight but constant throughout the day when I get up and move around. Dry through the night though. I sont yet know if all the cancer has been removed until psa test next week to give me comfort that I made the right choice cause right now I'm not sure. I will update . I'm GB
Thanks for you’re comment, I will find out Wednesday what’s happening and I don’t mind admitting I’m worried . I am like you wanting it removed but after my biopsy my doctor said he didn’t think it would be an option,
