I was diagnosed with prostrate cancer 3 weeks ago, i dont know much about it, i was by myself at the consultation when i was told. I was expecting it but it still hit me like a train, think i was too much in shock to ask questions at the time. I have noticed the word advanced in a letter from hospital. It has left me very scared and anxious about asking questions in case it turns out to be very bad news.
I have been having episodes of feeling quite unwell for last 9 months, this led to the investigations that found the cancer, i am still not sure whether the episodes are linked to the cancer, the cosultant said he didnt associate my symptons with my condition.
It has turnrd my life upside down, i was a very active happy go lucky 68 yr old, still working 3 days a week by choice. Know i find myself feeling constantly ill and worried.
I am not new to cancer, 27 years ago i had bowel cancer, i have lived a normal life even though i was left with a permanent colostomy.
Any help advice support appreciated
