Hello everyone,

New here, not sure where to start, but feels a bit reassuring to be part of this community that Macmillan provides.

I am 55 and have just been diagnosed with Prostate Cancer, with a PSA of 3.6 and Gleason of 6 (3 +3) two days ago, bit of a shock, but coming to terms with it.

A team of specialists are meeting next week to determine the course of treatment. Either radiotherapy and hormone treatment or Robotic-assisted Laparoscopic surgery.

I guess I have a choice. Not sure what option is best if there is a best one. It's all a bit bewildering, but I am taking it with a positive attitude.

All the best to you all with this condition and those who are affected by it.

It's good to read other peoples experiences........thankyou
