    I don't know - but surely the more tests the better as long as they don't make anything worse!

    Hope it's either a very slow PCa like mine - not needing treatment -, or that a good treatment is offered that you can have confidence in. Best of luck to both of you. This must be a very worrying time for you..

    Any testing by a physican, what ever might be is considered normal. I would not worry about the testing. Sorry about the cancer, just remember DON't pancic, your husband has time to sort all this out.

    Hi Louise, Sorry to hear your husband has been diagnosed with Prostate cancer. The testing of the bladder may depend on what stage the prostate cancer your husband has. Can you tell us a little more. Why did he go to a doctor to get tested for prostate cancer? was it a PSA test result that caused him to have a biopsy? Has he had previous PSA tests? From the biopsy results, do you know what Gleason score he was given and did he ever have a MRI.
