Hello all,
I have just been diagnosed (3 days ago). Not ashamed to admit I broke down completely in hospital and needed my wife to support and comfort me.
I am 44, PSA 14.6 and Gleason 7 (3+4). My biopsy involved 15 samples being taken and 5 of which on one side came back as cancerous.
It’s still very raw and my mind is a complete blur. I’ve tried to read all the various leaflets, booklets and reading materials that the hospital supplied me but I have been unable to decide upon a treatment yet. I believe my specialist nurse explained some of these to me after diagnosis but I don’t really remember that much as I think I’d shut down after the mention of the C word.
I’ve been reading lots of examples on this very useful forum from people like yourselves. Its helpful to hear of peoples journeys from diagnosis through treatment and these will no doubt assist me when choosing which path to do down.
Thanks to everyone who is contributing to this forum and trying to make sense of this horrible disease we unfortunately have. I am keeping an open mind and welcome any help/advice.
