Prostate spread to seminal vesicles

Surgery isn't offered if there's Seminal Vesicle involvement (T3b), as this reduces the chances of surgery working, although sometimes this is only discovered during the surgery. Radiotherapy can include seminal vesicles.

Hi Skye45 - You have the right attitude. From my diagnosis I decided that the little sods were not going to better me. Mrs Millibob has been a fantastic support and with my wicked sense of humour we have fought this cancer all the way.

We do laugh about it, some of the situations you get into as a man - you lose any dignity you had - if you can't smile, well - we do. We also have moments where we have cried together - me shouting "It's me hormones" but yes I can cry for England.

After 15 months together on "our" journey - we have almost won - you two stick with it - get through the dark moments (there will be a few) with a bit of laughter and you will get there.

Best wishes.

Brian.

Hi...My partner PSA 284 ....we are waiting to chemotherapy Dr on 23rd ....we have been told it's spread to seminal vesicles. Dr has told us it's treatable but not curable .....We just get on with life the best we can ....mI just can't believe how much it affects everything.  

Does your partner also have spread to lymph nodes and bones too xx

No 

Hi

Yor right about it changes everything, just as my wife who is stressed out 24/7 they do look after you though, I see my specialist nurse every three months, have done for over six and a half years. PSA is bad but there’s plenty with higher including me 892. 
listen to what they say and get a good thermometer.

Stay safe Joe

Aww am so worried am thinking my husband was told he had an enlarged prostate and a lump which the lump on the prostate is like 3 o’clock to 6 o’clock on left side not had confirmed sizes or anything yet. So it like a quarter on left side. And the spread to seminal vesicles. He had been having urinary flow problems got a while which is getting relieved by the tamulosin. Which am suprised by the nurse saying on biopsy day it is an aggressive growing cancer it’s been there a while. Wondering if the psa has been raised due to the enlarged prostate and not the cancer as aggressive cancer doesn’t ususlly raise the psa. 
so getting myself wound up. So hard not to presume things. 

Hello Skye, I feel so much for you as a few months ago I was in the same situation.  Try to stay in the here and now until you get the results and try not to waste too much precious energy on what might or might not be. Easier said than done, I know!  

we had superb prostate cancer nurses who understood that this continual waiting for results is so very hard and, at our request, they rang us with results as soon as they received them. They weren’t ever the results we wanted but at least we knew pretty quickly what we were up against. 

we were told pretty much the same as you except the seminal vesicles we’re not affected but one tumour was bulging against the wall and they weren’t able to say whether or not it had gone through. 

thinking of you and your husband and sending love and best wishes to you both

Aww thank you. I am actually becoming obsessed I just want to be prepared so I can give my husband the best support I can and prepare myself so I can be strong for him. He is my rock and it’s now my turn to be his. 
I unfortunately deal with things if I can think worst case scenario I won’t be shocked it a coping mechanism not a healthy one but then there no suprises. Our consultant is phoning us on 23/3 so hopefully he has the full results then. 
His dad had small cell lung cancer so I worry he may have small cell prostate cancer although rare just wasn’t sure if genetics work like that with it being two different organs but it is at the back of my mind and I mentioned this too the consultant in email and he didn’t really react to it which am thinking was it because he suspecting it’s that as he did rush through biopsy as there was no appointment for weeks we were going to have to goto london private but it was rushed through nhs. 

thank you for your wishes xx

Hi

My wife who’s my carer, I used to be the go to person, but now she does my meds which I take at a given time. My wife gets so stressed and worried about if my shoulder hurts, or my fatigue, telling me I should rest, to me and I’ve said it a huge amount of times, without wives and partners we would be floundering, so it might be a rough ride with good and bad days, so take them as they come. We’re all here for you and your husband.

Stay safe

Joe
