4. Pain: Early diagnosis of prostate cancer is very difficult since the symptoms of the disease do not usually manifest until the advanced stages. Pain is one of the main symptoms and can be experienced very differently from patient to patient.
What’s it like to live with prostate cancer – find out more it?
I’m concerned now because I have all 5 symptoms and after recently starting to explain them to my GP he stopped me mid sentence to state that it was a 10 minute appointment and that I had time to talk about 1 symptom and 1 symptom only!
I now have an MRI scan tomorrow as the back pain he has immediately linked to my prior spinal fusion.
