  • Hello Graham-B

    I'm glad to hear that your biopsy results showed the cancer was confined to the prostate. I hope that that was of some reassurance to you. 

    Making decisions about treatment is often difficult for people. I know we have a number of gents here on the forum who have been through treatment for prostate cancer and I hope that some of them will post to share their experiences with you. 

    We do have some information about radiotherapy for prostate cancer on our website which may be of help and if you wanted to chat things through with one of our team of nurses you're welcome to call them on 0808 800 4040, Monday to Friday 9 am to 5 pm. 

    I hope whatever decision you make, that you feel supported by the team responsible for your care. 

    Best wishes,
