My diagnosis was made very early, in fact I visited my doctor about something completely unrelated, and I just happened to mention that I was getting up for a wee during the night, he added checking my PSA level to my already booked Blood test.

It also gives me the option, if needed at a later date to other treatments if I should ever get cancer again
