I'm sorry your dad has recently been diagnosed with prostate cancer Jackie.

Lack of energy or tiredness isn't listed as one of the main symptoms of prostate cancer but it can be one of the general signs of cancer, as you'll see here.

Our team of cancer nurses will be able to explain this in more detail so if you'd like to have a chat with them about this, they're available on 0808 800 4040, Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m.

You may also be able to get more information and advice from Prostate Cancer UK.

[@Finn1707]‍  Do you know his Gleason Score ? My husband has a Gleason score of 9.Meaning his cancer is aggressive he was diagnosed 6yrs ago, hes sleeping alot and complaining of pain in his right hip as far as I'm aware the hip is attached to the spine .Hes on hormone therapy.His PSA has suddenly gone up meaning his cancer could have spread to the bone.There is no cure but can be managed with hormone treatment .My husband has recently had scans and hes waiting for the results ,I will update as soon as he gets results from his Dr .All Men have a Gleason Score .

hi i have just had a prostectomy to treat an early gleason 8 cancer , but on removal the histology report said i had a gleason 9 cancer wrapped around the neck of the prostate when studied . 6 weeks previous mri scan did no show the gleason 9 but showed clear lymph nodes and clear bone scan . i am now worried sick and would like some advice pls . ps sorry about your fathers news and how late was his diagnosis pls regards neiljohn

My husband had prostate cancer diagnosed four years ago.     It's such an unnerving time and you will get there. It's very encouraging that all your scans were clear.  Try to be comforted that it's been found and removed and you have an excellent chance of full recovery.  Staying positive really helps.  

Ty so much for taking the time to reply I take it your husband never had his prostate removed ,can I ask has your father had any radiotherapy for that or was it too advanced for that at the beginning pla regards neiljohn
