Good luck with your scans try not to overthink things as stated there’s various treatments now and some will be offered regarding your circumstances. As Rob said there’s plenty of consultations to have and you’ll be talked through every possible procedure, available. It is a long road ahead plenty of ups and downs but keep focused on the end game in beating this .
I’ve had a radical prostectomy then unfortunately had to have a month of radiotherapy, 18 months later but we don’t give up we keep going you’ll be n good hands , the treatment for prostate cancer is getting extremely advanced now. Best wishes for the future.

Best of luck with this. You need to know what you are dealing with so hopefully it will put you on the right path. And make sure you enjoy your holiday (and have the right level of insurance cover). If the results confirm prostate cancer, I can recommend Admiral Insurance. They have a section on conditions and I have been selecting the "no treatment yet apart from hormone therapy - diagnosed with PC but awaiting treatment".

Sorry to hear this but it must mean that they’ve caught this very early.

I have a good prognosis but mine was judged slightly too late for this option - the coward in my is secretly glad.

Just back from The Christie because I had my brachytherapy session yesterday. Overall it wasn’t too bad. Lots of waiting around. I had a general anaesthetic so was out for it all, and then I was wheeled back to my private room with a catheter. I wasn’t in any pain but I hardly slept because with the catheter and saline drip attached, side-sleeping wasn’t a realistic option. So I just lay propped up listening to music for about 5 hours!

CT scan this week to be followed by three weeks of radiotherapy in a couple of weeks.
