Prostate Cancer

[Pudsey Bear]

That's a long time, mine was supposed to be 2 years, but I got to the result they wanted at 15 months, grey stopped it at 28 months.

We seem to be all treated quite differently, which is good, and not one size all.

I think my treatment is long term because it's all ready spread to lymphatic system znd possibly further..

I've been very lucky that they spotted it while looking at something else, and whoever was looking at the scans realised it needed further investigation.

I've had it for about five years or so now and wondered if there was an existing thread on here but couldn't find one.

I'm sure I am far from alone with all the elderly folk on here, and most will get a check up, but some younger farts can get it too.

Most men die with it but not from it so it is worth asking your doc for a PSA test, or for him to put the gloves on for a physical test, (if his hands are one your shoulders or hips, he's doing it wrong) Mine is low grade and I need no meds for the cancer but it does affect my bladder so I have meds for that, they seem to work most of the time but I need to have a day off every now and then, today is one of those days, not fun at all, you go but you can't so wait 5 minutes then suddenly you can.

Regular PSA tests quite often wait and watch. For someone who is just recovering from Penile Cancer all male cancers should have proper screening but it’s just been knocked back for Prostate Cancer. Hope you keep well.
