Good luck with the scan tomorrow. Hopefully it hasn't spread and can be caught in time with the one operation.
All the best.

 I just went and had all tests done about 2 weeks ago. The doc was happy with all tests done. I have slightly enlarged prostate but he says nothing to worry about at this stage. So happy with that.

Ken, 3 years ago my husband was diagnosed with Prostate Cancer with a Gleeson score of 8. Down to Brisbane for DaVinci Robot assisted surgery.  Tests are still clear, with 3 monthly testosterone injections. 

Best wishes
