Your doing the best route there mate take a break, refresh then have a good talk to all the consultants, similar route what I tookgot biopsy reults yesterday, consultant said cancer was detected in my prostate at a low level, gleason score is 3+4 with 1 out of 6 cores on the right and 0 out of 6 cores on the left. the percentage of pattern 4 is noted to be10% and the greatest focus of tumour is less tham 1mm.he offered 3 treatments, 1 having prostate removed, 2 radio therapy or 3 active surveillence, i'll have appointments with the surgical team and the radio therapy team before i decide what to do in about a months time. i asked him which he would reccomend but he said that decision had to be mine but i got a feeling that he favoured the active surveillence rout so i'll wait and see what my next appointments bring. gonna try and book an holiday in the sun before then
what was your gleason score though, my heads all over the place listening to friends who had different biopsy reultsYour doing the best route there mate take a break, refresh then have a good talk to all the consultants, similar route what I took
I had a radical prostectomy , and then needed radiotherapy a couple of years later
So if you need or want any background in the two don’t be shy in asking mate.
Whichever you choose good luck.
3+4 mate from what I can remember,we met both consultants on the same day , it was well developed by this time so they wouldn’t do active surveillance it was too late , it was all very quick from diagnosis to treatment, whatever you decide you have time to decide and looks like it’s been caught in time.what was your gleason score though, my heads all over the place listening to friends who had different biopsy reults

You’ll do it inch keep focused mate don’t forget my case when I went plan BGot my Biopsy on Tuesday afternoon. Hoping for the best yet fearing the fucking worst.
One of the symptoms, do you struggle when pissing? IE, is the piss motor not working and are you peeling more? If so get checked asap.Does a trickle after a piss always indicate prostate problems?
Take someone with you if you can there’s a lot to take in , take a pen and paper lazer and if you can go on the prostate cancer uk website do some reading up and note down some questions you’d like to ask.Just got my next appointment for 16 July with the radiotherapy team I think or possibly the surgical team or maybe both
Pissing takes a bit longer and then there's a long trickle afterwards. No other symptoms, though. I had a check about 4 years ago and it was fine. I was hoping i could ...fuck it...I'll just get it done. cheers mate.One of the symptoms, do you struggle when pissing? IE, is the piss motor not working and are you peeling more?

No but get it checked is my opinion. I'm like that but thankfully I'm one of the lucky ones as it's enlarged prostate which I take meds for and not cancerDoes a trickle after a piss always indicate prostate problems?
I'm sure he used his thumb the last time. I've had about 10 full pisses today. Maybe more.No but get it checked is my opinion. I'm like that but thankfully I'm one of the lucky ones as it's enlarged prostate which I take meds for and not cancer
Wishing you and others well. You are right getting it checked. If you don't get it checked then you will be wondering and worrying constantly.Pissing takes a bit longer and then there's a long trickle afterwards. No other symptoms, though.

Great post.Wishing you and others well. You are right getting it checked. If you don't get it checked then you will be wondering and worrying constantly.
I've recently gone through it and in my experience I was worse when I was in that no man's land of not knowing if I had it or not.
Once diagnosed I felt relieved that as I knew then that a treatment path would follow shortly. It may seem to take ages to find out but once he treatment starts it goes pretty quickly.
I was just approaching my 63rd birthday when I got the call to say my PSA was above the threshold. From that time to hopefully receiving positive news following treatment will be approx 1 year. If I live to be 80 then thats about 1.25% of my life which I can cope with.
Remain as positive as you can . For those of you with doubts as to whether you should have it checked because the NHS is struggling for time and finances then think what would happen if you left it for 12-18 months and further symptoms developed. The time taken and the cost to the NHS would be far greater and you would be kicking yourself for not being checked earlier.
