As stated I'm now 3 months post op and I've developed new issues which no matter how I try i can not divorce from my prostate cancer. I have seen my GP but I had to see one GP three times before he took me seriously and did a PSA. My GP did apologise when the results came back positive ffb but by then a year had passed? I am not saying it's cancer but I'm scared something will be missed again!

  • Hello Alan ( 

    If you have developed new issues and you think they are connected to the cancer diagnosis then my advice would be to contact your team at the hospital. If you are going to your GP and you are not happy with their findings then you need to escalate your worries to the Practice Manager.

    I do hope you ca sort these issues out.

    Best wishes - Brian.

  • Hi Brian. Thanks for that.

    I am not saying the new symptoms are definitely related but I no longer have faith in what I'm told by the GP and I can't seem to overcome this. As a result my life is pretty difficult

     I am worried that if I approach my team my concerns may be seen as over active health anxiety and I can't face the thought of this

    It's a mess
