Hi I'm new to this site,I have been diagnosed with prostate cancer. All this has happened so fast over the past 6 weeks. I went to the G P with a urine infection as it turned out to be cancer. We are still in shock with it all. I am 60 yrs old & at the moment it is just playing on my mind 24 7.  Iv had the MRI scan & bone scan  just before xmas & we got the results back after xmas 11 th Jan. Thank goodness they said it had t spread & it appears to be confined to the prostate. Last week I had a cystoscopy procedure done where they inserted a camera into the penis to get into the bladder, they now want me to go & have a biopsy on my bladder as they have found some abnormalities since doing the camera procedure. I have seen the oncologist radiotherapist who discussed the options of having radiotherapy & we have an appointment with the surgeon this Tuesday at the Royal Black Burn hospital to discuss surgery 

does anyone have any advice regarding the robotic surgery ( the Da Vinci robot )  to remove the Prostate which they use at Royal Blackburn hospital. At the moment there is just so much to take in. They have said that it is an aggressive type cancer that I have & it will spread & I should do something within & no later than 3 months.  Also does anyone know anything about the Proton Beam therapy that they do abroad, my son has been looking into this as it's not offered in the UK. 

I would appeciate any advice or knowledge anyone can give .

many thanks

mike
