Hello everyone,
I thought my cancer journey was over six months ago when I had my prostate removed. The surgeon said afterwards that the analysis showed there were negative margins all round the prostate and the six-week blood test showed negligible levels of PSA. However my blood test just before Christmas showed a level of 0.1, and more recently it's 0.18 - not what I was expecting. It seems I am now on course for a few months of hormone therapy followed by a few weeks of radiotherapy. Reading around I think this is not an uncommon situation to be in.
So I thought I would join the community, share my experiences and see what others are going through.
