Still in a state of shock but need to choose a treatment option. I really don’t want urinary issues or ED. I would welcome comments from those who have been treated. Thank you.
Hi Jhonny, I'm in the same boat. I am an absolute mess. Deciding what treatment to choose is as bad as having a cancer diagnosis. At moment I have chosen Active Surveillance.
Not sure if its the right choice, but the alternatives- the side effects - well I'm not ready for that.
Maybe when I'm more scared of the cancer than the side effects, then I can make a more rational decision.
Hi Mack Mack. Try not to worry as that won’t help. I am nearly 4 months into hormone therapy. The side effects have been negligible and my PSA has collapsed from 10.2 to 0.4.. I will have 4 weeks of radiotherapy in March. My oncologist reckons their success rate with a diagnosis like mine (Gleason 3+4) is “in the high 90’s). I don’t regret not having surgery. This was the right choice for me. Good luck and keep your chin up.
