Dx Oct 2021 Gleason 5 + 5 (10)PSMA clear of Mets. Completed 39 sessions Rad late Feb. Am told I any in very small number of men who have felt major pain in prostate from day one, unfortunately having this pain ment Urologist was convinced I had prostatitis and treated this for 6 months, I have had prostatitis in the past and new pain was different , lol but what do we know. Now on ADT since Oct for two years. Last psa was 0.1. Fingers crossed and on we go.

Thank you for that, I have been told the fact I had so much pain has probably helped make the detection of this at a early stage. Urologist didn't want to operate, radiologist didn't want to use radiation, would cause more pain with high chance of making it worse. Wife and I left to make choice, radiologist agreed to do it only after I agreed to accept poor outcome, Ha, pain much reduced, came through radiation well, he was stunned. 😀
