Today my consultant phoned me. He said that my scans and biopsy showed no cancer, and as my original PSA was 77, another blood test would be done this Friday, and if still elevated then sedated biopsies would take place. He said if the PSA level starts to decrease then active surveillance would take place. His diagnosis was just one line……
Hi Anthony5, I have heard of biopsies missing cancer due to the small number of cores taken, do you know how many you had removed, especially with the TRUS biopsy, hopefully a second, more thorough biopsy will clear things up, I will have everything crossed for good news
