Hi freddy61 and welcome, so sorry to hear you have prostate cancer, have you had a biopsy as this will give you your Gleason score, the lower the score the more cancer cells look like normal cells, the higher the score the more mutated and aggressive they can be, it will also give you your TNM staging which will determine your treatment options, PSA levels are used as an indicator during diagnosis and are far more useful later when monitoring how your treatment is working. All this, and any questions you have will be answered by your doctors, my best wishes with your results, take care.

Hi Freddy, you are welcome, being told you have cancer is a shock, we all have a difficult time in the beginning, going through tests, waiting for results and treatment to start is the toughest time. It's a little unusual to start hormone therapy before your biopsy, but it's good that you have, I know it's all new to you and may decide to do some research but please don't use Dr Google, prostate cancer uk, Macmillan and this one are the ones you can trust, though I'm sure your doctors will answer any questions you have, once you have your TNM staging you will understand better what to ask, PS your staging, mine looks like this T4 N2 M1a, best wishes .

Eddie

Thanks again Eddie
