My husband has just been diagnosed with stage3 advanced prostate cancer. I am terrified

My husband was told of his diagnosis 2 weeks ago and we are going for the results of his body/bone scan tomorrow and I am terrified . We are talking about it but I am trying to stay strong for him. I just wish we knew what is happening and the road we are going to have to take. I feel lost due to the not knowing 

  • Hi Mel

    my partner has been diagnosed with prostate cancer, his results from body/scan turned out to be clear, he has been referred now for a pet scan because of his high psa 113 and enlarged prostate his biopsy showed Gleeson 9 score hopefully his will be contained in the prostate, I know its mind blowing whilst waiting for the results and the not knowing makes your mind cross bridges before you even get there, I think that sometimes its hard being on the outside looking in, but try and stay strong as not all scans are bad news, and the treatment has advanced so much in the last few, years our journey is a bit further along than yours but I found comfort by being on the forum and chatting to other partners please feel free to chat if you need to.

    Thankyou for getting back to me so quickly.  He has been told his cancer has come out of the prostate so we are finding out tomorrow if it has spread. I feel a bit more positive since you responded.  Thankyou.
