Prostate cancer

Hi,

Newly diagnosed with gleason 6 PC ,a low grade so this means no treatment now but 3 monthly checks ongoing. Advised Its contained within the prostate and not spread. I had taken PSA tests off my own bat and without symptoms,this led to MRI'S and a biopsy which found the cancer.

Anyone in same boat or is undegoing the 3 monthly checks after similar diagnosis, or who is living with PCin any form? 

  • I feel for you and I can honestly say I wish mine was caught earlier. I am Gleason 9 and at stage 4. Spread to my lymph nodes my bones and bladder. I find it difficult to accept as I have gone from being me to a different person in 6 months. I started my treatment August 2025 and it will continue for life. I hope you conquer this my friend all I can say is have a positive mindset and don't let iit take over your life you are the same person you were before the diagnosis so fight and be stubborn. You've got this. Good luck with everything
