Hi
Thanks to everyone for your words of support
Went for the ultrasound and biopsy on tuesday,after it was over I asked the doctor who performed it if he had found anything.
He told me that almost certainly there was cancer on the left lobe of my prostate and he would be very surprised if the biopsy results came back negative.
Now have to wait until next week for my return appointment to find out the next step.
Thanks
Andrew

You got friends world wide thinking of you

A workmate of mine had prostate cancer. Had brachitherapy (sp?) which is those radioactive seeds stuck in there. Perfect, no noticeable side affects and plenty of life left in him. There's multiple options these days; it's far from the death sentence it used to be but all the best anyway. You're probably ahead of the game in catching it early.

haha im still 35 years off 50!! im glad iv got a "proper job" not shoving bits of eggzadurated newsprint through my own door...

With the way the world's economy is going you still have 35 years to get one, remember most large companies seem to think after 35/40 you're on the scrap heap. So you have about 20/25 years to make your millions for your retirement.....good luck.....

Hi lads
Got my test results today and they are positive, I do have a tumour in my prostate.
Now have to wait until next thursday to have an MRI to determine the full size of the tumour, then the docs will decide what treatment is best.
Thanks to everyone for their support

 

[Lawnmowerboy]

is it cancer or a tumar because according to the hospital he has a tumar on his liver not cancer

 

[the snooper]

tumour can be cancerous but not always
and its his prostrate not liver

Hi guys

I have now had my MRI and as far as the docs can tell the cancer has not spread so thats a bit of good news, I now have to see the surgeon and the oncology guys next week to talk about removing the complete prostate as the cancer has spread to more than 60% of it
Hopefully it will be done before the end of the month, I have a Defender to rebuild for my son lol

Sounds like there's light at the end of the tunnel.

Remember the squeaky wheel gets the oil. Keep on their case.

Good luck
