After a 5 week wait I finally got my biopsy results, I’m normally relaxed about 3 monthly psa tests and yearly mri tests but 5 weeks wait for the biopsy results I was starting to get impatient  

Anyway the good news is out of the 12 samples taken there was no cancer showing, how lucky am I .

I will be staying on A/S which I’m quite happy about and that will be 3 years ive been on A/S

I saw consultant last week and run through results which I knew already as I got results from my doctor. 

Ive also got a telephone appointment with a senior consultant on Friday who I respect a lot , I’m expecting he will explain again why A/S is in his opinion the right choice for me at this time . 

Best wishes to everyone on here , I know it’s hard dealing with prostate cancer and so far I’m one of the lucky ones but try and stay positive Thumbsup

  • Good news Fleet and your PSA is not really increasing.

    I was on AS for 4 years in 2013 and my PSA went from about 4 to 13 in that time.

    2017 tumour near the gland edge so treatment started.

    Only thing I would say is keep your eye on tumour size , hopefully your have a MRI at least every year or two.

    Obviously they should be checking all that anyway but always good to keep an eye yourself 

    Good luck
