"My Prostate Radiotherapy treatment"

About: Cancer Services / Radiotherapy Oncology Specialist Nurse Teams / Uro-Oncology Specialist Nurse Service Perth Royal Infirmary / Urology

(as the patient),

Diagnosed in February 2025. No symptoms however; father had prostate problems which he did not speak about. 

Decided to ask for a PSA test after Chris Hoy disclosure and talking to male friends.

Absolutely devastated after PSA levels came back 30.9. Bone scan appointment given however; very anxious and worried due to seriousness of the situation. 

Feel like situation went from 0 -10 scale in a matter of minutes. Looking back, wish I could have had more support from professionals at this trying time. My consultants and cancer support staff were good.
