Genuinely.
My dad had prostrate cancer, my brother had prostrate cancer and now it is my turn. Because of my family history I have been going for PSA tests for years, the results always around 4.0, last year 4.1 and this year 8.1. Off for a MRI, then the biopsy 16 samples, got the results yesterday and I have localised T2, and so the journey begins.
Clatterbridge appointment booked for Friday morning. Fed up “of course I am” but we found it and we found it before it sneaked up on me, I have no symptoms at all. So, here I am another reluctant member. But hey, the luckiest man alive, I am going to beat this and I hope all of you can do the same.
Good luck everyone and stay strong.
Hello Ultrazapp
Welcome to the group although I am so sorry to find you joining us.
With your family history I assume you know enough about "our cancer" but if you do have any questions - however trivial please feel free to ask them.
