Prostate cancer

[A57 the snake]

Coincidentally, I’ve had my Prostate cancer confirmed tonight - Gleason Score of 8.

Nothing much changes - it’s what I expected. I’m already taking the hormone tablets, which will change to hormone injections every three months, and then I’ll be getting some radiotherapy in 3 to 4 months.

All the very best to you Rob

Be strong mate and keep positive. There are lots on here who would gladly take a pm if you want to unload or just talk.

Thanks for all the comments, it's good to know people are there if you need to talk.

At the moment, I'm OK mentally. Although I've only just had the diagnosis, it was obvious from the first trip to the GP, after a high PSA blood test, that this would almost certainly be the diagnosis. I'm unlucky to get this aged 55, but lucky that I have access to amazing and effective (for most people) treatments that allow me to carry on with a relatively normal life with what will hopefully be low-level side effects.
