Hi, this is all new to me. I’m more than confused. I was diagnosed with prostate cancer about three weeks ago. Ever since, my mind is a mess. I’m confused as to what is happening. I have lovely support from my family, but I still can’t seem to grasp what is happening. Is anyone in the same position? 
thank you. 

  • Hi Gedexe and sorry to hear.

    • If you can give some more info that will help give you advice 
    • So, last few PSA, Gleeson and MRI results or TNM staging.
    • Best wishes Steve 
  • Hi Steve. This was my first. My last PSI was121. MRI didn’t shown any spread. Having biopsy at the end of this month. I have to have a DEXA scan and also a PET scan. Heads still in a spin. Thanks for taking the trouble to reply.

  • Ok so PSA a bit high, good MRI shows no spread, hopefully other scans will confirm that, if the case then fairly easy to treat and potentially curable.

    Also hopefully biopsy shows a non aggressive type.

    When they have done the other tests hopefully they can start you on hormone therapy to stop it in.its tracks before starting radiotherapy.

    I know it's a shock initially but it does get better when a plan.in place

    Best wishes

  • Hi  I found this period the worse time as you don't have all the information and answers. Rest assured this will pass once you have information from the Biopsy and other scans.  Depending on results will lead you to options. As I mentioned it's the most difficult time as your mind races. Does your name lead me to believe we are in the same neck of the woods?
