Hello Steve and thank u for note.

I feel a bit ‘silly’ here as we havnt really been given much info and as mentioned - this is all completely new to us so don’t know what words like Gleesom score or even size of tumour.

we didn’t know what questions to ask re any reports … all we did ask was how big was the tumour and had it spread or attached to anything … the answer to this was it was a low risk cancer and contained … and it was only after joining this group and reading some of the content that am assuming my husband has a T2  as it’s contained within the prostrate …: we are going to request an appt with our gp and will ask what u have asked ie Gleeson score / tumour size and PSA …although I remember hearing something being said about PSA score being 5.4 which again reading on this page - sounds a good  score !!

With your help on here we can now ask more relevant questions of our gp and give us a clearer picture before discussion with encologist re radiotherapy.

Thank you 

It does sound a low key affair if that PSA is correct and good that it's contained.

See if u can find tumour size in mm because if lowish IE under 10mm approx then active surveillance could be an option.

Just to let u know I was on active surveillance for 4 years starting 2013.

It was ok and then Radiotherapy started in 2017 because tumour had grown.
