I need to get this off my chest really as I see this as some form of therapy to get through this.

I've been struggling for some time with severe pain in my left leg, groin and buttock. An ultrasound scan in March showed a slightly enlarged prostate gland but is, according to my GP  not to be the source of the pain.

I also had to have a catheter fitted due to urine retention in March but this isn't causing the pain as I had the pain before the catheter was fitted. I had a MRI scan 10 days ago and received the results this week. 

The consultant has informed me that the results show something abnormal near my groin and he has investigated further and said he's 90% certain it's cancerous. I'm now down for a CT scan and biopsy in July.

What he can't understand is what type of cancer it is as he can't see why and where the cancer has originated from. This may seem strange but I have to follow his judgement. 

Anyway a biopsy and ct scan should show a more detailed picture and he can confirm the situation. I'm now on morphine to help with the severe pain and discomfort.

It's certainly a very worrying time for myself and my family but fingers crossed !
