Hi everyone,new here. 

Waiting for Biopsy and bone scan results. 

PSA 16. 

MRI not looking favourable. T3B mentioned. 

Anxious times. 

  • Hello Steve - Welcome to the "club" - we aren't a bad bunch.

    PSA 16 isn't too high, however T3b which you can get from the MRI means the cancer has left the gland, gone "walkabout" and is in the seminal vesicles but no further. You need your full biopsy results before the MDT where you will receive a full treatment plan.

    As you say 

    Anxious times. 

    but very much treatable. As I say to new Community members, 98% of me die WITH Prostate cancer, not of it.

    Let us know your full diagnosis, when you get it and we can help you further. If it helps you can read my PCa journey by clicking on the icon of the beach - it's not all bad news.

    Any questions you have, feel free to post however trivial and join in any conversations - you are most welcome.

    Best wishes - Brian.

  • Hi Steve

    Welcome to our little club, No wants to be here, but you can get some good answers from people who have suffered the same as yourself.

    As Brian has said, getting all the results in is how your team will progress, it won’t happen quickly, you need to be patient, fortunately PC is very slow growing so don’t worry, always stay positive it’s part of the battle.

    Keep us informed, make sure when you see the oncologist again, ask as many questions as you can, it puts your mind at rest and if your me, ask about plan B, you always like to know there’s something else when needed.

    Stay safe

  • Hi Steve

    The waiting is the worst bit, T3 isn't too bad and neither is a PSA of 16  but Im guessing you wont agree - I wouldnt have. The shock of being diagnosed hits hard, but it sounds like they are on your case! As others have said let have further details when you know them.

    Regards

    Stuart

    Trying to get fit again!
  • Hi Steve and welcome, as the other guy's have said PSA 16 and T3 not so bad, worst time's are being diagnosed and waiting for results, once treatment plan in place things should go smoothly, all the best Ulls
