Prostate Cancer Diagnosis

Hi
I've had a diagnosis of grade 4 prostate cancer.
The good news is that CT and bone scans reveal it has not metastasized. Very relieved and hence considering my options optimistically!
I'd be interested in hearing from anyone who has undergone a radical prostatectomy and their experience of managing incontinence and preserving some sexual function.
Thank you
Dear Richard.
Thank you for posting on our online community. I am sorry to read of your diagnosis. I am delighted to read that your CT and bone scan are clear. We wish you the very best with your treatment.
I hope you will hear from others here in a similar situation. Meanwhile, I am wondering would you find it helpful to speak to one of our trained Peer-to-Peer volunteers who has had treatment for prostate cancer. It can be very supportive to speak to someone in similar circumstances but as you can imagine the details of everyone’s cancer will vary and it will only be your oncologist who could advise you on what other treatments you might benefit from in the future.
To arrange to speak to one of our Peer-to-Peer volunteers or to speak to one of our cancer nurses, please phone our support line. Our number is 1800 200 700 and we are here Monday-Friday, from 0900-1700.
Kind regards,
Cancer Nurse
