New diagnosis last week

Hello,


I was diagnosed last week.


I took part in a research screening trial for PC, had a PSA blood test but also a cut down MRI that lasted about 15 minutes.


My PSA was 1.3 but something didn't look right on the MRI.


Had a second MRI that lasted about 40 minutes, this confirmed that something was wrong on my prostate then had a biopsy, I don't think they took many samples as they were following what was on the MRI.


Got the results last Monday:


3+4 Gleason 


Group grade 2


T2N0MX


Have yet to meet the consultants but been told I should be suitable for 


Active Surveillance


Focal Therapy


RALP


Radiotherapy


Although the doctor said I may not want active surveillance due to the cancer being close the seminal vesicles.


Feeling quite stressed about it now and seem to have a lot of things to choose from.

Hello, mate.


I'm sorry that you've had to join us but welcome to the forum.


You are bound to feel anxious when diagnosed with prostate cancer. We all were.


Here's an excellent video by North Central London Cancer Alliance which explains the disease and deals with most treatment options and possible side effects.
