Hi all, thanks for your support so far. My dad has recently been diagnosed with localised prostate 3 + 4 Gleason,T2, PSA was 14.
Took him a while to decide on treatment but went with hormone tablets and Brachytherapy.
Started hormones almost two weeks ago. Went back to hospital for ultrasound, ready for brachytherapy and did a flow test.
Results back and doc thinks cancer is protruding out, upgraded from intermediate to high risk, from T2, to T3a, from 6 months hormones to 12 months and now has to have radio as well.
My question is, how worried should we be, also, seeing as he has to have radiotherapy ANYWAY now, should he consider not having the brachytherapy and just go for the 4 weeks radio he was offered a few weeks ago.
Would mean hormone injections not tablets which he’s already started.
Any advice and help would be very appreciated.
