Newly diagnosed

Hello Blue1 , 

A warm welcome to the club you didn't want to join, and I am sorry to find you joining us.

We had a new member with an almost identical diagnosis a couple of days ago and a link to that thread is here along with my reply and those of others,

 Help with options on treatments 

Treatment is very personal and differs from Health Authority to Health Authority. The plan should be now that you have a diagnosis your results should go to an MDT meeting who will tell you their thoughts on the best treatment plan. This guide may also help:

The Staging-and-grading-of-prostate-cancer.

It's very personal and up to you what treatment plan you take. Remember any treatment has side effects which will affect you and any partner.

Do feel free to ask any questions, nothing is too trivial.

Best wishes - Brian.

Hi Blue1 

My diagnosis last week is very similar. It all began in January when I first visited my GP. I was quite expecting the diagnosis and based on what I’d read the best option seemed to be surgery. However, after reading about other men’s experiences on here I’m considering a PET scan. I’ll discuss this with both the surgeon and oncologist before making a final treatment decision.

Wishing you all the best but remember we’re all here to support each other through this!

Hi Neil101

Thanks for your reply. I was also going to take the surgery route but now I am thinking perhaps radiotherapy will be best for me. 
it all came as a bit of a shock, so now I have had time to take it all in will also speak to my surgeon and oncologist before I make my final decision. 
All the best keep in touch.
