Good morning,

I was diagnosed Sept. 11th, 2018 with prostate cancer. I've been reading some of the posts on this forum and the general prostate cancer information from Cancer Research UK, and I find it much more comforting compared to the statistical babble on the web pages from the United States. So I hope you don't mind if I engage in some conversation and comfort here (even though i'm an ocean away). I've only shared my diagnosis with my wife and our best friend couple. I'm a very private person and my siblings would go completely overboard with their intrusion in my daily life.  I'm feeling very alone in my current situation.

My biopsy results have been submitted for genomic testing to determine how agressive the cancer is. Those results are still three weeks from coming back.  Currently it's a Gleason score of 6 but the PSA of 11 takes it to the T2 stage.

Thanks for letting me vent and get these feelings out. I know we are all dealing with very difficult situations or we wouldn't be on this forum. Please know that I'm thinking of you all.

Best,

Paul
