  • Hello Goldsworthy

    I'm sorry to hear about your recent diagnosis of prostate cancer. Understandably this may be an anxious time for you and you want to make the right choice for you going forwards with your treatment. 

    I know that we've had members post here on the forum previously about their experiences with prostate cancer and hopefully some of them will reply to share that with you. You may also want to have a look at the Prostate Cancer UK website. They have an online forum but they also offer a one-to-one service where they can connect you with a volunteer who has been through the same diagnosis. 

    I hope this is of some help and that whatever treatment option you decide to pursue goes smoothly for you. 

    Best wishes,
