Hi johnnySeven, 

Im sure how you feel about it, you’re not alone we’re in the same boat, I was diagnosed a couple months ago, But Im sure you gonna be Ok because they caught your CA on time which is currable and many options of treatment, what gleason score you have?

Thanks buybuyage for the reassurance. My oncologist reckons they have a success rate “in the high 90’s” for cancer like mine and I am into my second month of hormone therapy with no noticeable side effects so far. My radiotherapy is booked for February so I have some way to go but I’m hoping to have the all clear by May or June next year. My Gleason score was 3+4.

Hi Johnny, sorry to hear of your diagnosis but your in good hands , i was diagnosed 4 yrs ago a month before covid, i had hormone therapy for 3 yrs and 25 sessions of radiotherapy and i'm happy to say that i've been clear for over 3 yrs now. I'll give you one piece of advice regarding the radiotherapy, about 2 weeks into the treatment you will get the feeling of wanting to go to the toilet all the time, and i mean no2, its very uncomfortable and painful but they can give you a supposetary to relieve the pain, so my advice would be for you to tell the nurses about a week in about it, mine came on a Friday so i was'nt back till Monday so i suffered the whole wknd with it. Other than that its a piece of cake and good luck and try not to worry too much.

Hi Daver57. Congratulations on beating this thing. I hope you continue to remain clear. And thanks for the advice. My radiotherapy is scheduled for February. Fingers crossed it my prognosis is good.
