I have been diagnosed recently with prostate cancer ,which has spread to my rectum ,has any one else had this form of cancer 

  • Hi Clive

    I'm so sorry to hear of your cancer diagnosis.

    It is not uncommon for it to spread to those areas of the body which are close to the prostate, such as the bladder and rectum.

    I think it would be very helpful to all those using this forum if you could provide more details of your disease by posting them in your "Profile". Information such as PSA levels and treatment carried out to date, would be useful.

  • Thanks for the reply Andy, as yet I have not had treatment ,I should find out tomorrow when I see the urologist .

    All I know so far is that I have prostate cancer that has spread to the rectum .

    Was just hoping that another male may of  had the same prognoses so they could share their experiences of treatment etc 

      

  • Have seen Urologist today and I am to be given 8 weeks of hormone treatment followed  by radiotherapy .Have been told that surgery not possible as the cancer has manifested into the rectum .cancer not curable but to be managed .Has anyone else had the same prognoses ?
