MRi Scan two lesions in prostate

Hi Steve

You sound very similar to me with problems piling up,I've had this feeling full thing for a while now before the prostate cancer diagnosis but was eating normally so I'm hoping it's a gastric thing

As I said the full blood count was normal and had a chest xray so hopefully get the pet scan results this coming week still dreading them though.

Thanks Steve

I had another thought when I reading the above.

Sometimes the key to emotions is how we think about things.

My attitude to the PSA tests, Bowel Cancer Screening, and the various scans I have had  has become "I cannot lose."

If the scan is clear, no worries.

If there is something wrong, well, it can be treated better if court early.

It doesn't remove anxiety. It does seem to remove panic. It helps.

Chin up. Keep smiling,. Confuse everyone.

Steve.

Morning Steve

Good way of thinking, I've woken up sweating just can't get the scan result out my head and result will show something not good, no idea when I get results or how I get them phone call or face-to-face I'm thinking face-to-face would be a bad sign ?

The wait is torture even with low psa of 7.7 been told very unlikely to spread also what could be found inside me worries me to ie feeling full all the time. 

I really wish I could be positive 

Thanks 

Peter

Hello Peter Psb2024 

If it's something to think about - here's one for you, my initial PSA on diagnosis was 182 and NO spread (click on my user name for the full journey) so on7.7 you will be fine.

As to results, each health authority works in it's own way - some even give a cancer diagnosis by telephone so don't worry if you do get a face to face appointment.

Best wishes - Brian.

Hi Brian

Thanks for that ,was given cancer diagnosis by phone on the 15th waiting for PET scan results from Friday now ,just worried about this feeling full symptom I've had before prostate cancer diagnosis,I'm taking omeprazole for acid reflux which put down to the gallstone I've got but very similar symptoms to early stomach cancer symptoms which really worries me ,I'm a natural born worrier especially waiting for these pet scan results ,

Even after a full bone body blood test and full body blood count test both normal when I was in hospital with gallstone pain my worrying doesn't go away 

I'll definitely read your journey 

Thanks again 

Brian 

Hi mstev,

I must admit to taking a perverse pleasure when out & about on the street by greeting people I don't know with a cheery ''Good Morning / afternoon''.  The British (& yes that includes me) are usually so reserved & the look of shock on their faces is a picture to behold.  Most of the time though it breaks the ice & I get a smile & a cheery response & maybe it helps make someone's day.

Brian

Oh I really wish I could be that positive, all I ask for is a result of no spreading and everything OK inside me like everyone else, but until then sadly I'm thinking the worse for whatever reason and dreading the results, you've all been through it it's torture wondering when the answers come .

I've no idea what the plan is to give me the results hopefully soon as scan was Friday 

Hope your all doing well

Peter

Hi Peter (Psb2024)

I am lucky in that I don't tend to worry about things & take the attitude that it is what it is.  That doesn't mean I don't think about the what ifs that might happen & need dealing with, but I then consider my parents who both served during the 2nd world war.  Thinking of what they & everyone else had to cope with helps put things in perspective & reminds me that if they can cope then so can I.

It must be really difficult for anyone who is a worrier by nature as it must be so difficult to switch that aspect off.  But, & it is a big but, you will cope in your own way & be supported all the way by the fabulous people who are on this site.

Fingers crossed for you that you won't have to wait too long for the results & that they bring you the news you want to hear.

Best Wishes

Hi Brian 

I totally get what you mean about your parents and that does put things into perspective.  

Been told by numerous people on here it shouldn't spread as psa 7.7 psa density 0.15 and gp and clinical prostate nurse, just worried what they could find in scan with other potential problems. It's in my mind 24/7 not sleeping great so that doesn't help.

Thanks Brian fingers crossed  and the people on here are definitely fabulous  

All the best 

Peter
