I had minor symptoms and saw my GP in July. He wasn’t happy with his physical examination and referred me to Urology at Ninewells. I had a PSA test on the same day as I saw my GP (later revealed as 11). MRI scan followed, then biopsy. Cancer was confirmed - Gleason score 4+5 (which was frightening), locally advanced grade 3 (spread to one lymph node).
Bone scan and CT scan followed - no other spread. Started hormone therapy tablets and injections at end of September and Abiraterone tablets etc in November.
Started radiotherapy in February and finished it in March. I have had tremendous treatment from day one and I am particularly grateful to all of the staff in the radiotherapy department of Ninewells whose care has been exceptional.
