He was told something was shown on is prostate so he had to have biopsy it was two weeks after test done he had letter from hospital oppointment Monday 13 January2020 had phone call at 2:15 yesterday had the dreading phone call again  to say it Cancer he's waiting now for bone scan then they take it from there to see what treatment he can have etc .

I can't believe this is happening what start of new year it's like I'm living in nite mere again :( :( 

  • So sorry to read your post Gemini and can only imagine how scary it all must be for you and your family to be going through another cancer diagnosis. Sending big virtual hugs and fingers crossed that it will not be too long before a treatment plan can be put in place for your father. I am hopeful that Brian (woodworm) will perhaps see this post too and having received treatment for prostate cancer a while ago now he may be able to offer some insight though we all know that each person's journey is different.

    Remember that the forum is always open and we can listen when you need to vent your feelings even if we cannot take away the hurt.  Thinking of you.  Jules xx

  • Hi gemini your father has plenty of options for treatment if contained thares hormone therapy and radiotherapy, or hormone therapy and operation,. If its gone further there is still options. Mine was psa 1581 gleason 8 stage 4 it went to lymph nodes, spine, ribs, pelvis and a lung was diagnosed Feb 2016 its uncurable i just live with my uninvited guest. Good luck with your father's results......... Billy

  • Hi gemini just thought as jules said there's [@woodworm]‍, or [@telemando]‍ both been there done that, both different treatment to give you some ideas. I know you lost your father to it you don't say when but it's one of the more treatable things and plenty of options. He's in our thoughts, and you as well. Best wishes..... Billy

  • Hi Gemini

    I am so sorry to read about your fathers diagnosis. I know it must bring back bad memories for you,but treatment for prostate cancer has improved a whole lot even since I had my treatment jusy a few years ago. I had radiotherapy and hormone therapy and I have luckily made a good recovery. Please know that we are here to do all we can to help and support you as you have done for others in the past.
