Treatment decision

Afternoon Edward,

Welcome to the forum, it's been a year since I was diagnosed (Gleason 7 (3+4) T2 Intermediate risk).

I opted for the Hormones and Radiotherapy, don't regret that decision at all.

The more people you talk to who are going through Prostate Cancer the better you will be in yourself.  That was my experience anyway.

The first 3 months were the hardest ever, just coming to terms with the Cancer.

After a full month of VMAT Radiation last October I had counselling once a week until April.  Now I am in a much better place mentally.  My counselling was through a charity based in Newcastle called 'Coping with Cancer'.  I can't recommend them enough.

I'm in Remission now, that was nearly as hard to take as the Cancer diagnosis.

Don't worry about possible side effects, just deal with them as and when.

Best of luck 

Is it cyber knife Edgbaston or removal or brachytherapy?

there are other treatments tell them you want to know all of the options not just what suits them and be strong demand to know

its hard I found iRE on this website and am off to VITUS in Frankfurt to get my 4+3 Gleason treated and they can locally insert chemo if needed after 3D MRI. Decade ahead of here and process used in USA longer and for other cancers

im spending my pension to live a longer life and then NHS may decide I’m a patient not a number by then
