Hi my partner and me in very similar situation can relate so much to you, age 50 fit healthy routine blood psa of 22, saw consultant had biopsys 10 taken and 3 came back positive gleason6 was hopeful at this point, he had mpmri which showed another larger area for concern base of.prostate and repeat psa elavated to 27. More biopsys 4days ago awaiting results, im his partnet of 27years age 47, we have one daughter 26 no grandkids etc, my other half is exactly the same as you just wants to avoid the prospect of surgery or anything that might make him feel less of a man( his words not mine) the thought of catheters incontinence erectile dissfunction seem to him worse then having cancer in him, i cant seem to reassure him at all that if hes told hes best to have radical prostectomy that we.l deal with it together, hes got his mind set on active surveilance, ive told him to prepare that it might not be an option, hes like you wants to hang on to all his bits and peices,haha, he doesnt want to know the facts statistics hasnt read up not read the tool kit at least your informed, he just asks me what i thinks best, were both usually realistic people optimistic but this last 8weeks has been awful so many ups and downs and tests and waiting, hes more bothered about it impacting on my life says i shouldnt have to have this going on..im sure your wife feels the same as me we just want you to be well, alive and free from cancer, i can deal with the consequences as they come as im sure your wife can, us women are made of strong stuff, we have a natural instinct to protect our family whatever the side effects..my thoughts are with you and your wife..jo.t
