Hi All
I don’t know where to start really. I’ve just been diagnosed with Prostate Cancer. Score of 3+4. I have a PSA score of 0.8 So was not expecting this. I’m only 46. I thought my wee issues were something else completely. I’m distraught. My consultant thinks we have got it early and it’s probably contained, but I can’t help thinking of all the bad things that can happen. My dad passed away with this and he was a lot older.
. I’ve had a week to think about it and am seeing him again tomorrow. He has given me info to read and 2 options of prostate removal surgery or Brachio therapy. The thought of catheters, incontinace and erectile issues is so scary. But the thought of the radiation is scary too and it’s long term effects. Has anybody here had to make the choice? Thank you for reading this and any advice. I’m so frightened. I don’t like pain at all but know I need to make a choice.
