    Hi Bazza01. Welcome to the forum.

    I'm not a doctor but I was diagnosed with prostate cancer just over 10 years ago.  Fortunately, it was caught early and treated by surgery.

    When it comes to prostate cancer, there are a few important pieces of information that it would be helpful to share.  These are your age and your current PSA reading.  The rest you won't know just yet, but they're the Gleason grade (two numbers, eg 3+4, or 5+5), and the stage (T1, T2, T3 or T4, possibly with other letters at the front or the back).
