ive just been diagnosed dont know what to expect i have a few health conditions.i should have an appointment within the next fer weeks
Hello kinlar and welcome. The first few weeks are the most frightening as we don't know what to expect in terms of tests being carried out, what the results mean and then what treatment is likely to be offered but be reassured that treatment is available even when you have other health conditions. There is a book which you can download for free which explains a lot of this so read this first.

If you can give us a little more information if you have it like PSA, TNM and histology from biopsy then this will help us to give you more tailored information.
The statistics show that 98% of men die with it and not of it. If caught early then it can be treated with curative intent or even just having active surveillance. Even if it has developed to the non curative stage it can usually be treated for many years.
