lots of advice here

 I am sorry for your diagnosis.

Hopefully we can help with information for direction, and share some of our experiences with you.

In order for us to give pertinent information, we need more information from you.

How many cores were taken in your biopsy? How many of these cores were positive? Of the cores that were positive, what was the Gleason, and the involvement (that is what percent of the core was cancerous)?

Was the digital rectal exam normal, or what did it indicate?

What is your PSA, and the history of your PSA tests?

Do you know the size of your prostate?

What led you to getting a biopsy?

………………………………………..

Most of this information is on the biopsy report which you need to have a copy of along with all medical information for your case.  This is important as you get second opinions at various medical specialties, and so you can communicate here and at any other group that you may visit.
