Hello and thanks for your post

I’m sorry to read about your dad. This must be a worrying time for you both.

I know it’s easier said than done but try and take things one step at a time for now until you know more.

It sounds like your dad’s doctors are planning to run further tests to provide them with more information about his condition.

After a cancer diagnosis patients are discussed within a MDT ( Multi Disciplinary Team) meeting where all the specialists come together to decide the best treatment plan for each individual patient. The decisions are based upon the type and stage ( size and extent) of cancer as this can influence outlook/ prognosis, as well as how fit and well they are and if they have any other health conditions that may affect them having treatment.

You can read more about prostate cancer on our website.

I hope this is of some use. Give us a ring if you want to talk things over. The number to call is Freephone 0808 800 4040 and the lines are open from 9am till 5pm Monday to Friday.

Kind regards,
