Before you have surgery as to see an oncologist first , I had surgery (not very pleasant) and then found out that an oncologist would have waited before going for surgery straight away and that I may not have needed it, surgeons are " men of action ", those are the words of an oncologist, in recent years they have developed other treatments which may be better than surgery.I had surgery 10 years ago and its come back and I'm now having hormone treatment.
Good luck.

My PSA 7.4 and it seemed that the cancer was contained within the prostate, however although the prostate is shaped like a walnut there is a little tail that is left behind when the organ. Is removed, I'm not too worried that the cancer has come back the hormone therapy has reduced the cancer from 6.8 to 0.6 and as I'm 68 the consultant feels I will probably die of old age before the cancer gets me!!!. Cancer survival rates are much better than even when I was first diagnaoed12 years ago. Good luck to you brother there is always a light at the end of the tunnel!!!☺
