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 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.

    Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery and today is a gift.

  • Hi Mike 

    sorry to hear about your diagnosis and so very sorry to hear about your wife.

  • 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
