Hi. I was diagnosed in early 2013 with stage 3 prostate cancer, with a gleason score of 9. I had NO symptoms and was extremely lucky to find out after attending a well man clinic at my doctors, mainly due to me having a non secretive psa score of only 9.  I underwent radio therapy along with a course of hormone therapy. At the start of my treatment I signed up for the sage program, lucky I did, as two years later my psa had started to rise yet again. I was given a pet ct scan and a ct scan, the latter discovered a tumour in a lymph node close to my spine. I was was given chemo and was told I'd be on hormone treatment for the rest of my life. I've been ticking along nicely for the past 6 years or so with zero testosterone and 0.3 psa readings, until two months ago when it started to rise. I was rushed in for emergency pet and ct scans, the latter resulted in highlighting a further two enlarged lymph nodes close to my aorta and spine. Specialist nurse telephoned to say, they are going to wait three months, then re scan to see where we are at, needless to say, I'm extremely concerned what's happening inside my body, but they know best. My journey continues. 

I'm only 65 btw. I have 3 sons, all of which are waiting till they're at an age when they can be tested. A good reason why I strongly believe there should be a national screening program.
