UNDERSTANDING YOUR DIAGNOSIS

Prostate cancer ranges widely, knowing your risk category is the first step

From slow-growing disease that can be monitored over years to more aggressive forms that need timely action, the range is significant. Decoding your specific situation is what we do.

PSA history and trend

A single PSA number means less than its trajectory over time

Gleason score / Grade Group

The grade tells us how aggressive the cells look under a microscope

Biopsy core involvement

Number of positive cores and percent involvement shape risk stratification

Imaging extent

Whether disease is local or has extended beyond the prostate changes the landscape

Is this for you?

You may benefit from this consultation if…

  • You were recently diagnosed and feel overwhelmed by the terminology

  • You want PSA, Gleason, and imaging findings explained in plain language

  • You're weighing the choice between monitoring and intervention

  • You need to prepare for an upcoming urology or oncology appointment

  • You have family abroad who want to participate in decisions by Zoom

  • You want integrative support principles factored into your planning

Key decision points

The real questions patients face, and where we help

  • Is monitoring (active surveillance) a reasonable option in my case, or does my risk category require intervention?

  • What further tests would give me a clearer picture of my actual risk level?

  • How do I meaningfully compare surgery versus radiation when both are being offered?

  • What does hormone therapy involve, and under what circumstances is it used?

  • What questions must I ask my urologist before committing to a treatment pathway?

Preparation

Frequently asked questions

From diagnosis to recovery, here is what patients and their families ask us most, honestly answered.

Where can I get a prostate cancer consultation in Jamaica?

Teshuva Wellness offers physician-led prostate cancer consultations in Montego Bay, Jamaica, and via Zoom for patients across the Caribbean and diaspora communities in North America and the UK. No referral is required to book.

What does a Gleason score actually mean for my treatment options?

The Gleason score, now often expressed as a Grade Group (1 to 5), describes how abnormal the cancer cells look compared to normal prostate tissue. A lower Grade Group generally suggests slower-growing disease where monitoring may be appropriate. A higher Grade Group typically indicates more aggressive disease requiring timely treatment. We explain what your specific score means in the context of your full clinical picture.

Is active surveillance (watchful waiting) safe for prostate cancer?

For certain low-risk cases, typically Grade Group 1 with limited biopsy core involvement and a stable PSA, active surveillance is a recognised, evidence-supported approach that avoids over-treatment. Whether it is appropriate for you depends on your specific pathology, PSA trend, and imaging. This is one of the most common decisions we help patients think through.

Can Jamaican diaspora patients join a prostate cancer consultation by Zoom?

Yes. Many of our patients are Jamaicans living in the US, Canada, or the UK who are navigating a diagnosis either for themselves or for a family member back home. Zoom consultations allow full participation and document review remotely. WhatsApp us to arrange a session.
