Very sorry you are in the position that you find yourself. It is often the case that when told as you have been for the need to 'move faster......', that this adds to as patient's concern and a patient tends to think of the worst scenario. Not much of a consolation I know but at least they are considering your case very quickly. We don't have a lot to go on or know that the lesion in your spine is PCa related, which if it is may well affect your proposed treatment, assuming you have PCa in your Prostate. Take careful note of what your Consultant says about your diagnosis, a treatment decision on which might be deferred until a further scan and a biopsy.
Meanwhile, be aware that there are an increasing ways to treat PCa, if that is your case, so try to remain positive. Prostates grow with age and some more than others which can lead to restricted urine flow. In such cases this is more easily treated than PCa.
