Prostate enlargement

Virtually every man gets an enlarged prostate at some point . I had a very large prostate and a very small tumour - the two are not at all related . A large prostate causes a relatively high psa level in your blood ( without any cancer ) so don’t be surprised if the psa comes back rather high . Anyway having a large prostate certainly doesn’t mean you have a tumour . Bill

Thank you bill. Much appreciated as you have put my mind at ease

Hi Tonyrob59 don't over think things, not every enlarge prostate or above average PSA means you have cancer, just wait for the results, I have a friend who has had an enlarged prostate for 25 years.

All the best Ulls

Hi Ulls 

thanks for that. It’s the not knowing that’s bothering me. Anyway I am going to try and relax until I get my results:

cheers

Try not to panic / worry … easier said than done I know. 4 years ago my husbands PSA level was 15 when the GP phoned we were on holiday and they suggested we come home.

 He was fortunate enough to go to royal marsden rapid diagnostic place where they could only see a very large prostrate but still the worry was there. He had a turb procedure abd lots of bits biopsied everything removed negative. His number dropped because size of prostrate reduced theyve said prostrate will keep growing so in time number will increase and we will start again 

Thanks you for the message. Much appreciated
