He hasn't been examined or had any biopsies. I can handle,good bad news. as long as I have an idea what's going on. What do you all think. Honest answers please. Thank you. Look

Morning Lynda 66,
Your father will have to get a bone scan.
It's exactly 1 year since I was diagnosed with Prostate Cancer. The week after the official diagnosis I had a bone scan.
Hope everything goes smoothly.
Sorry to cut this short, got to go to work.
I wouldn't worry until any results come back.

Hi Lynda
I agree with Steve. I had my bone scan very quickly after my initial diagnosis. That said I'm a little surprised they have done the bone scan before all the other tests. Have I mis understood you?
Please let us know
Regards
Stuart
Only part of the message came out haha.
8.5 yrs ago he had Prostate cancer,had radiotherapy and hormone treatment. This year,Within 3 months the PSA went from 2.5 to 22. Straight in for a bone scan and I think it was a pet scan on same day. No biopsy or examinations
