I hope the results are what you want. But if they are not - don't panic. Prostate cancer is very treatable, especially if found early. It is not a death sentence. Try to stay calm and take things one day at a time.

best wishes,

What is it that you're scared about? That he has prostate cancer? He probably does - about three quarters of men of your dad's age have prostate cancer, and almost all men have it by their 80s. It's a natural part of the ageing process for a man. That he's going to die? Put that thought out of your mind. With a PSA of 11, if he does have prostate cancer it is almost certain to be localised, and localised prostate cancer in many cases requires no treatment, and if it does need treating, the treatment is highly effective. You get treated and you get on with your life.

Stop worrying!

Cheers,

Chris

I agree with the other posts, just because someone says "cancer", it doesn't mean anything really bad will happen.
