@Courtney_J Hi Courtney, sorry I haven't been on in a moment, I've been busy with family things. I was diagnosed in 2016. I had started needing to use the toilet more, especially during the night, but I didn't think much of as it's a typical problem for us "old farts". My wife ended up pushing me to see my GP after it had gotten to 6-8 visits to the toilet during the night (I didn't realise it was that many, but my wife certainly did because it would wake her up every time!). Thank goodness she did, because after a urine sample, PSA test and MRI, it showed I had a tumour! I was shocked because I've always been in good health and very active. I went through a few rounds of radiotherapy since the cancer hadn't spread much. I really felt terrible during it but today I'm cancer free so I have to be thankful!

Hi everyone,
I hope you're all feeling well today.
I've decided to revive this conversation as a way for us to learn more about each other.

Can you share when you first received your diagnosis and the process that led to it? Were there specific symptoms that alerted you to an issue? What treatment options have you explored, and how are you currently managing?
Please don't hesitate to share your experiences here!
Best,

Hello all,
I thought I would open this discussion so we can get to know each other a little better!
So, what is your prostate cancer story? When and how were you diagnosed? What symptoms were you having that let you know something was wrong?What treatments have you tried for it? How are you doing today?
