My amazing dad got diagnosed with prostate cancer on Tuesday. He has just turned 58. He only found out as he went to the doctors with a sore back and the doctor recommended a psa blood test. His psa was 10 so the doctor referred him to have an mri. From the mri scan, he then had a biopsy. The biopsy revealed the cancer. His Gleason score is 7 but luckily it hasn’t spread. I’m so devastated and terrified. I’m so close to him, I can’t bare the thought of losing him. It’s all I think about everyday. The hospital have offered him either radiotherapy or surgery to remove the prostate. I think he wants to go for the surgery. If you saw him you wouldn’t know he has cancer. He is young for his age, still working, very active and it isn’t stopping him from doing the things he enjoys. I’m trying to stay positive but the word ‘cancer’ is so scary. I would love to hear some positive stories/outcomes.
