Hi all

 

I am 87  and rather quickly I am being prescribed additional cancer drugs, have a Zoladex Injections and now a NH Body Scan. I have been "watchful waiting" for about 20 years (taking Tamsulosin) with a consistant PSA number that has now risen sharply,  I am now rather worried and need to know if my condition is more serious than I think or are the treatments a "tick box" programme . The problem is prostate so would like to hear from other guys who have found themselves in a similar situation.

Looking forward to your replies

    Thanks for your reply. I will wait and see what results I get from the scan, appointment is on 8th November.
