Hi all not posted for awhile but still look in to see how everyone’s getting on.
After a 4 week wait I received my mri report which was encouraging, little change since last mri , unchanged nodule on right peripheral zone and prostatic capsule intact , Normal seminal vesicles.
precise 3 Stable MRI appearance with focal lesions identified. T2 No
Into 4th year on a/s and after 4 mri’s and 3 biopsy I was glad the consultant told me he didn’t think I would need another biopsy just now, after having a bad experience on 2 of the 3 biopsy’s I was relived at this. This was the old style biopsy’s.
My PSA has crept up to 11.1–10.6 consultant told me if the psa increases from this I would have another biopsy but as I’ve just got my last psa reading of 10.3 this offers some encouragement
it’s been a strange time this past 4 years knowing I have pc but it’s not been to stressful I try not to worry to much and put it at the back of my mind I think I’m lucky and get on with life
The only time I did worry was before this last mri when i had 2 consecutive readings over 10, but as consultant said I’ve a history of fluctuating psa readings he still recommends staying on a/s
Best wishes to everyone on here

Hello Roy (Fleet )
Thank you for a detailed and encouraging update - you are doing well to stay on AS with a PSA in double figures, however if you and your consultant are happy long may it continue.
It's a positive post and I hope help others who chose this path on their personal prostate cancer journey.
Best wishes - Brian.
