  • Hi Bazza,

    I am sorry to hear of your diagnosis. My dad was diagnosed with prostate cancer 2 yrs ago. He had an extremely high PSA of 1566. He is 75 yrs old and after being on hormone therapy, which is ongoing and one round of radiotherapy his count is now down to below 4. He lives a normal life and he has blood tests every 6 months to keep an eye on things. There are so many things that can be used to treat this cancer. He is treatable but not curable but it is being kept very much under control. I understand that this is an extremely worrying time for you but try to take each day at a time as like I've said there is so much that can be done. I've found this site a real comfort as there are a couple of guys on here that have shared their experiences which has made us feel so much more positive. 
     

    keep strong,
