Prostate Cancer

Just diagnosed with prostate cancer. I am 68 very fit, still working and enjoying it. I had no prostate symptoms. I went to the doctor's with what I suspected was bowel problem and blood test showed high PSA 7.2. MRI showed a lesion 13mm then biopsy and rated 3+4 ?? The advice given is leave it 3 months then new blood test and if higher another MRI and biopsy then possible operation to remove? Bowel problem turned out to be Metformin reaction. Is it ok to leave it 3 months?

  • Hi, I am similar to you. My scores are 4+4 (T3a) and I’m having a bone scan tomorrow. Then I’ll have to wait 3 weeks to see a consultant. All this waiting is driving me nuts. I’m trying hard not to let my imagination go into overdrive. The thought of waiting 3 months for a time critical process is just too much to contemplate. I just want things to happen now. It’s all the uncertainty and conflicting information. You are not alone.
