My biopsy has confirmed I have prostate cancer. I am going for a PSMA PET scan the day after tomorrow. I would like to hear from prostate cancer sufferers, especially about the treatements and prognosis.

@muhammadali1951 “Treatments,” “prognosis,” and “suffering” all depend on your numbers, test results, and choice of treatments.

You might have “little-c” prostate cancer and not “big-c” prostate cancer, and get by with no suffering. (I did; and my treatments were a walk in a park.)

What are your numbers and test results: PSA, MRI, Gleason, biomarker (genomic) test, and (when you get it) your PSMA PET scan results?

With all that information, then you’ll have an idea of what your journey might be like.

Don’t let your mind take you to dark places that the numbers and test results don’t warrant,

You’ll be fine.
