Re: Prostate problemsAt last some good news from the oncology appointment I had this morning at Christies, The PSA blood result letter (6.3) I got off my doctor last week to take to this appointment was the wrong one, they gave me the old original PSA test result I had in 2022
![]() ![]() ![]() The PSA result from May this year was 0.16 & not 6.3 FFS. Here's me thinking that all the radiotherapy sessions I had earlier in the year hadn't worked, She said it's excellent news & the prostate is as good as dead now. She's arranged for me to have more regular flow tests at urology & regular PSA blood tests to keep an eye on things. She's also writing a stern letter to my GP about the sheer lack of post treatment care & communication I've had.
Re: Prostate problemsThat’s excellent news.
Re: Prostate problemsThis is one of the best threads on here and although there are only a few who contribute, I reckon there won't be many who don't read it with interest. Keep up the good work and the very best to all those who have been diagnosed.
Re: Prostate problemsThank you Bone Shaker, dally1. It was a load off my mind to say the least. I asked her if this six monthly wait after the radiotherapy sessions for results is the norm & apparently it is. She's arranged for my PSA blood tests & urology flow tests to be every four months instead of six months from now on.
Re: Prostate problemsKeep us updated.
Re: Prostate problemsReceived a few days ago ,psa 12 apparently , Sharon ( urology nurse ) not concerned as letter says my psa does fluctuate a fair bit , she believes it’s water infection , now got another psa nov & mri , not sure how that will work as also got pre - op ( different issue Oct ) , depends when op is , think they’ve took on my concerns it was getting longer & longer between psa / mri
I must admit I’m a lot better than 3 years ago though that could be were managing to control diabetis better , & no blood / pain , but still think a psa ( simple blood test ) every six months , or do a 2 nd a month after high psa
