Hello Karumba and welcome to the site
Whatever the outcome, your brother has been investigated very very quickly and that means that if anything is detected it will be dealt with speedily.
We would really need the PSA (blood) test results and any biopsy result ( he will be given something called a Gleason score) before we can really advise you/him
The fact that the PSA (?) was high and that there is a suspicious nodule and hardness does seem to indicate that he will probably require treatment.
The stage that he is at we cannot help with unless we have the PSA and Gleason.
This waiting around for results is always a hard bit because you are so helpless. I'm sure you will both feel much better once a plan is in place.
If his scores are low he may not even need treatment at this stage and if they are high enough to warrant it, there are many treatments available
Please come back when you have more information and I'm sure somebody will point you in the right direction.
Best Wishes
Sandra

Thank you Sandra . I really appreciate your response. I can’t talk to my brother about it because he just gets irritated with me which I understand. I’m a very anxious person and I know this does not help him. Thanks again .

If you are naturally anxious the current situation won't help but please try not to worry.
We have men on here who are incurable but have been living with Prostate Cancer for 10 years or more.
That's assuming, of course, that your brother does actually have PC.

Hi Sandra. Brother has had biopsies done now a 3 week wait for results as they have to be sent away.
We will just have to be patient.
