At 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 :evil: in fact they cant find any of my blood test results on the computer system from decades of being a patient at that surgery :shock: To say they're incompetent is an under statement :evil:

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.

This 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.

Thank 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.

Received 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
