A quick
précis of my dealings with prostate cancer....... diagnosed 10 years ago with a Gleason score of 2:2 & a max PSA of 6... 3 options available ..removal, radiotherapy or brachytherapy.... opted for low dose brachytherapy at Royal Marsden Chelsea...... PSA dropped to .5 .... but now gone up to 6 ... had PET/CT Scans a few years ago & told treatment has failed, when I had brachytherapy was informed removal after treatment was not really an option but time moves on & now can be achieved....... face to face chat coming up in September to discuss what happens next which could be just anti testosterone injections or removal which could well involve removal of bladder at same time which obviously I don’t particularly want or maybe cryotherapy & my question is has anyone had or know someone who has had this option plus or minus problems with it?
As an aside it was amazing the amount of people who never were tested for their PSA reading & all I will say is please get checked it may save your life!!
