Hi
New member here feeling very worried about what happens next.
A couple of months ago I went for an annual blood test required due to my blood pressure medication, all was OK except for a raised ALP of 165 so another test was taken 4 weeks later & this time ALP was 222
I saw a locum GP and she asked for more blood tests and I asked about PSA so she added that to the sample list.
The results last week were ALP 247 & PSA 25 and they booked me a GP appointment for mid November.
After a weekend of googling & worrying about my PSA result I contacted the surgery and got a call back from a doctor who has put me on the fast track and now I have a scan on Saturday morning.
I'm 65 and have no real symptoms other than getting up for a pee and worsening ED but the combination of the high PSA and rising ALP is really worrying me.
I feel a hell of a lot better today after reading this wonderful forum and wondered if there is anyone who had similar results & can share their experiences?
Hi Megamilo872f0b , I can’t comment on the ALP but your raised PSA would be a concern. Your team are obviously on the case and an MRI will tell you enough to diagnose what is going on. Good luck with the scan results, which I hope you get quickly. Please come back with an update or ask any questions.
Best wishes, David
