This is my first time on Prostate UK. Can't believe I am Classed as a"Younger Man". First time I have been young since I was in my 20's. I'm only 57 now.
I was diagnosed with Prostate Cancer 2 months ago (Gleason score 6-8 in one lobe and 7 in the other).
This is my 5th week on Hormones and I am finally getting around to see the Oncologist on Friday 30th July to see how long my Radiation treatment will be and possibly how long I am to be on the Hormones.
I still don't know what stage my Cancer is. The Bone scan came back clear.
Cheers
Steve
Hello Steve,
You'll be surprised how many "younger men" are part of the group. I was 50 when diagnosed and unfortunately and unluckily for some, they are in their 40s. On the plus side it sounds like you have a treatment plan, which will become much clearer when you see the oncologist on Friday, and your bone scan is clear.
Good luck!

Chris,
Hopefully my treatment will work. I know that I won't give in without a fight.
You never know, there may be a new treatment which could be perfect for you.
