Hi Gazza3535 & Rainbowmolly, just a little information, while both your PSA scores are slightly above normal, they are still relatively low, and not high enough to confirm cancer by themselves, there are other things that can raise your PSA, most lesions are not cancerous in respect to prostate cancer, modern treatments for prostate cancer are so much better than 5 years ago, let alone 10 years, with new treatments becoming available all the time, and 98% of men who get prostate cancer will not die of it.

Thank you for your words of encouragement 

this is a different time for me just have to see 

how results go and take it from there

take care

I understand, I was diagnosed 30 months ago, and remember the early days, of not knowing, going through tests and waiting for results and treatment to start were the worst, but things do get a little easier.

Eddie 

Got the results of my prostate biopsy on new years eve and yes I have prostate cancer but the results are probably the best I could hope for, the cancer has not spread out of my prostate and is only in a small part of my prostate my results are

T2 gleason 7 (3+4) N0 MX

Elected to have radiation treatment with possible hormone therapy 

Hi  Gazza,I'm sorry to hear you have prostate cancer, but it's good to see it's been caught early and have a treatment plan and chose radiotherapy, can I ask will that be EBRT, SBRT or Brachytherapy?

best wishes.

Eddie 

Hi Eddie. It's EBRT that I'm having

Same as me Gazza, 20 fractions (sessions), done by the nicest people you will ever meet in a hospital, best wishes my friend.

Eddie
