   500? you sure you've got that right?

I thought he would have been long gone if you've got that number right.

Hello folks.

I DID get the results of Blood Tests on Friday.

There are some things that need looking in to, BUT the PSA level waa not of concern.

My Doctor did perform the D.R.E. on me.
YES I have Hyperplasia, but no lumps or bumps were felt by her.

Therefore, I can now re-plan our holiday, and recent Anniversary celebration. I felt too unwell to enjoy anything.

I informed my doctor to put Trimethoprim on the BANNED list for me, it WAS the correct remedy for Kidney infection, but the bad reaction I had (I'm also allergic to Penicillin) is not something I wish repeated.

Enjoy the sunny morning   

Regards James

Yes David it was over 500, PSA in the hundreds are not uncommon.I read recently on cancer research uk, of a chap with a PSA of 1760 which reduced to 600 during treatment.

The following are some general PSA level guidelines: 0 to 2.5 ng/mL is considered safe. 2.6 to 4 ng/mL is safe in most men but talk with your doctor about other risk factors. 4.0 to 10.0 ng/mL is suspicious and might suggest the possibility of prostate cancer.

Someone is using a different scale then


Just saying.

So I need to join this thread now as OH has been diagnosed with PC.
He has had a number of tests and next week we go to hear the results.
He had very few symptoms, just minor changes, so we were both surprised to find his PSA levels borderline.

Well good luck franbee just remember it's very treatable now days and far less chance of turning real nasty if found out about early which by the sound of it is his case.

In my case my only symptoms were a slow flow and a full feeling in my lower belly and my doc did the finger test and found nothing but decided to get me to have the blood test which although lowish he decided to keep an eye on me and over a few months it rose so I had a biopsy which came back with just one of the samples positive.

I decided to have mine removed and now five years in I spread the word when ever I can which is "If in doubt get checked out"

Once again good luck which I'm sure neither of you will need and don't get disheartened will you, you can get through it I'm sure.

ps   Keep us informed please!

ppss I can now pee like the good old days when at school it was who can get up the wall the highest

As an aside I thought I'd mention in case anyone is wondering I don't pee up the wall in the school toilets any more they won't let me, say I'm too old and too tall and would have an unfair advantage the spoil sports.

My OH was diagnosed last year after his PSA level was found to be up and he had a biopsy which confirmed the cancer. His PSA went up again and he had another biopsy yesterday, awaiting results.
He has three brothers all who have prostrate cancer. One died last year but not of the cancer, another brother had treatment eight years ago and is fine at the moment, another brother left it too late and the cancer spread.He is having chemo and radiotherapy.
My OH has no symptoms whatsoever, he had to be persuaded to go for his second biopsy.He just doesn’t want to know and dreads any treatment. His biggest fear isn’t the cancer but having to wear a permanent catheter. His consultant wants to take the prostrate out but at the moment OH says no. Only he can decide, very worrying.

If he decided to have it out tell him very very few men end up with a catheter,, I had one in for two weeks for the urethra to rejoin successfully then had it removed and I've been fine although do leak a little enough to wear pads but just in case really I'm pleased to say.

I would recommend that he does the pelvic floor exercises right now as I must admit I was a little lazy doing mine and if I'd tried harder then most likely I wouldn't leak now..

I was only in more or less over night, in at half seven in the morning and out around four next day, if he does have it done make sure to take a loose fitting pair of trousers to wear home because they pump your belly up with gas to give themselves room to work and it takes a few days to go down and I came home with my trousers half undone ( good job it wasn't on the bus)

Best wishes to you both.

So OH is to have the hormone treatment, plus maybe some radiotherapy eventually as it has spread to a lymph node, but not bones. He has no specific symptoms, the minor changes he had previously may have been a UTI, which was seen off when he had antibiotics when he had his biopsy.

So not too bad news, you must be pleased I should imagine as he is no doubt and it seems as though they are confident they can sort him out given time,, the main thing is to be positive as that frame of mind is always helpful with recovery as I'm sure you know.

Best wishes to you both.

OH has had the results from his latest biopsy. Nothing much had changed with the cancer from eighteen months ago.
Consultants are now having a meeting to decide what to do next. Another appointment In four weeks. He still had no symptoms whatsoever and feels well.
