Hi have just been diagnosed with prostate cancer and am worried as I looked after my wife who had bladder cancer and passed away with it
Hi Miker1953 and welcome to the forum. Please tell us about your diagnosis (PSA, TNM stats & Gleason score). It will help us to help you.
You should go to the Prostate Cancer UK website (link here) and download the first document in the left hand column ("How prostate cancer is diagnosed"). It is a good starting point to understand the disease.
Please come back with any questions as there will be someone on here who has experienced what you are going through.
Hi Miker
so sorry to hear about your prostrate problem and your wife, what a shock for you.
my husband diagnosed with prostrate cancer in February, On curative treatment plan now
At the first few appointments horrendous, even after those,poor husband worried to death.
I will say to you what I say to him
just today
manage this moment
do not think too far into the future
Other people have been / are going through what you be are going through
You are not on your own
I am now thinking of you
prostrate cancer is the most treatable form of cancer
You are Special and everyone will do their best to help You.
Please, try and rest easy tonight, use relaxation techniques
sleep with the tele on if it makes you feel better
or tune into music, I use Jason Stephenson deep sleep or Sarah Raymond deep healing sleep
have a hot bath
go for a walk
Breathe
Do not think the worst
learn how to Relax and Let go,
not sure if this will help you but felt compelled to send it.
good luck
and keep expecting a good outcome,
do not doubt it
Best Wishes
