About Irishsam

I'm 61 years old and am originally from N. Ireland now living in Cardiff. I was diagnosed 3 years ago with 'low grade' prostate cancer (nothing to worry about). Last September this was upgraded to 'medium grade' and intervention (removal) took place on Jan 21st this year. More 'material' was found on my bladder which was removed and I await results (March 10th) on a PSA. Even if the PSA shows 'no recordable count' possible hormone and radiotherapy is recommended as a precautionary measure. I believe now that I was of the 33% misdiagnosed in the first instance.
