Borderline, just surveillance ??I am surprised you were not offered any treatment with a 3/3 score, was it T2 or T3?

I was told to take my medicine before 6am on the day of the surgery. The anaesthetist checked what I had taken and said “you won’t be needing that again”. The surgeon checked what I had taken and said the same thing.Why would it be wrong ?
I have just been put on it, hopefully to control the amount of times I need to get up at night and help with urgency , my understanding is it works mainly on the urethra not the prostate
I do still have my prostate gland but my FIL has had his out and is on the same

a great result for youFinally got all my biopsy results back and it seems good news, as we were really due some good news we are very pleased when from the 18 samples taken , 17 where negative and 1 went back for re testing , this came back clear too, this doesn’t explain the shadows on the MRI, and when I asked questions I got vague answers like possible prostate infection ( no explanation if that needs treating) or one of multiple other causes for shadows on MRI, ( is this a regular occurrence carolyn ?) getting any answers to my questions is very difficult it seems.
Being advised to increase PSA testing to 6 month intervals
When I was diagnosed last year my PSA was 4, which isn’t worrying but on DRE they found an area that felt a little harder and it also showed up on the MRI as a shadow.Finally got all my biopsy results back and it seems good news, as we were really due some good news we are very pleased when from the 18 samples taken , 17 where negative and 1 went back for re testing , this came back clear too, this doesn’t explain the shadows on the MRI, and when I asked questions I got vague answers like possible prostate infection ( no explanation if that needs treating) or one of multiple other causes for shadows on MRI, ( is this a regular occurrence carolyn ?) getting any answers to my questions is very difficult it seems.

Very common. Great news. There are lots of things that mimic prostate cancer on MRI and that’s why they have to do biopsies. Prostatitis (infection or inflammatory) is just one. Most don’t actually need treatment if they’re painless but sometimes the biopsies introduce infection.Finally got all my biopsy results back and it seems good news, as we were really due some good news we are very pleased when from the 18 samples taken , 17 where negative and 1 went back for re testing , this came back clear too, this doesn’t explain the shadows on the MRI, and when I asked questions I got vague answers like possible prostate infection ( no explanation if that needs treating) or one of multiple other causes for shadows on MRI, ( is this a regular occurrence carolyn ?) getting any answers to my questions is very difficult it seems.

Thank you CarolynVery common. Great news. There are lots of things that mimic prostate cancer on MRI and that’s why they have to do biopsies. Prostatitis (infection or inflammatory) is just one. Most don’t actually need treatment if they’re painless but sometimes the biopsies introduce infection.
Don’t worry, just celebrate!
I didn't have any of that sort of cramp although I do have cramp in my leg(s) during the night occasionally but had that long before any thoughts of PC. None of that changed during or since the RT.Anybody else suffer from a cramp sensation in bladder area, I am assured that my RT doesn’t go that high so can’t be that
Another patient on exactly the sane treatment told me today via WhatsApp that he got cramps in his last week, He finished last Thursday and was told the same thing
Last day tomorrow , it’s gone quickly but glad it will be done with
