Enlarged prostrate

[janey]

I've just found out me dad has one and has to go for a scan. Now I know it could be nothing but that doesn't mean I'm not worried about him
Any information/personal experiences

More than likely just a mild infection.

I hope so, I'm terrible worrying. Thank you

He'll be fine I would have thought.

Father in law had that and it turned out to be bad news. Had to have it removed. The good news is its very slow growing (if it's something sinister) and the docs reckoned he had had it more than twenty five years. Hope in this case all is well, which it probably is.

most men his age will have an enlarged one, i had a finger up,scan and then a biopsy (was ok)

How old is your dad? As men get older it's very likely they will have an enlarged prostate, for various reasons.

In that case I'd not worry (easy for me to say), even in the rare event it wasnt good news it's generally so slow its very unlikely to impact upon his life. Best wishes to father janey.

Thank you for that I genuinely appreciate it

It's not uncommon for men over a certain age and if it is the big c, what they can do today with it is a miracle really.

this.. me dads 86 and has an enlarged but not cancerous one, basically they said if it was a bad one he'd die of summit else before it killed him

Aye good luck Mr J

PS - ProsTATE is the doughnut shaped gland that surrounds your pee pipe. ProsTRATE is living face down on the floor!

Four in five men over 80 will have cancer cells in their prostate apparently.

My first reply was going to be a fat bloke lying on the floor but I thought it might be taken the wrong way.

Aye, i didn't think it was a subject to be making spelling jokes about
