PSA Results

Hi Aberafan,

Welcome to the Prostate Cancer forum, not the sort of forum you might have wanted to join...

Your results are good, the fatigue should wear off in time, the Hot Flushes may linger on a bit longer.

My Radiation treatment finished in November, PSA down to 0.09 in February, told I was in Biochemical Remission and as long as my PSA levels can stay between 0 and 2 I don't require any further treatment.

Just had my 6 monthly PSA test, 0.03. Happy with that.

When I was having a bad time last year, a farmer's wife said to me "If you don't mind I will say a prayer for you.  If you do mind I'll still say one for you."

I thought that was beautiful.  It made me cry.  We've kept in touch ever since and I update her all of the time.

There are a lot of good people in this forum, lots of good first hand experience and advice.

Best of luck.

Hi Steve,

 I hope that I get results like yours. I had my first blood test yesterday since my radiotherapy. My PSA was originally 79.39 then went down to 0.65 with the help of Prostap 3. I speak to my oncologist next Thursday to get the results. It’s strange that these test results never show on my NHS records. They only show when the Oncologist writes to my GP. The only time I get a real unbearable hot flush is a week after my Prostap injection, other times they are manageable.

Tyler,

Hope your results next week are good.  I have an app called 'airmid' on my phone.  I got access to my PSA results the morning after (also there's a 'myGp' app which also gives you access to your medical records).

Ask at your Doctor's surgery, they may recommend a different app.

It keeps the waiting down to a minimum.
