Hi everyone.
I’m new to the forum.
Today my GP phoned and told me my PSA prostate levels were extremely high, and he has referred me as a red flag case to my local hospital.
I phoned the hospital to check for any cancellations, but was told they just take the next on the list.
They also said that red flag cases are between 6 and 8 weeks waiting!
Has anyone been in the same situation? And does extremely high PSA levels always mean prostate cancer?
Really panicking.
Thanks everyone.
Hi Anthony5 and a very warm welcome to the Macmillan Community but sorry to hear about your concerns.
Navigating this journey can be such a stressful and challenging time but getting support from people who have walked or are walking the ‘exact same' journey can help a lot.
I have a completely different cancer but my PSA levels have been on the high side but I have been checked out and no Prostate Cancer has been found.
