Husband newly diagnosed

Hi all, my husband has recently been diagnosed with aggressive prostate cancer.  He is in the process of having  scans to determine if the cancer has spread.  His Glesson score was 9. the urologist said he needs the prostate removed and the radiotherapy, but if it has spread they will rethink his treatment.  I am going out of my mind with worry, I think it's because everything is unclear at the moment.  I hope it will get easier when we know if the operation is going ahead.  Lolly.

  • Hi Lollypop,

    Sorry to hear abour your husbands diagnosis. I do understand what a worrying time it is for both of you but once you have a treatment plan in place and it gets underway It will be easier.

    Several years ago I was diagnosed with prostate cancer but due to my wife making me go to my GP, It was diagnosed early and have made a good recovery. My brother in law has just finished chemo. His cancer has escaped the prostate and spread to his bones but he has been told many men in his situation are keeping okay.

    I wish you all the best, Take care, Brian
