Hi
my dad has recently just diagnosed with prostate cancer, he was going for his normal bloods and requested PSA test after seeing something in an advert, only symptom he had was having a wee of a day and needing one again right after, so he went to the hospital on his own and was told the devastating news, he’s PSA was 16 he’s 71 and he’s very fit and healthy normally, no under lying health problems at all, im going to the hospital with him tomorrow, he’s had an MRI which came back with a grape size grow just attached to his prostate? can i please have some advice and experience people have had, im struggling with my anxiety and i’m worried sick i'm losing sleep! any advice is Appreciated thank you
Sorry couldn't get onto this website later on Friday and yesterday until last night and then I typed a reply and it disappeared - don't know what happened. Hope you both have been able to calm down a little now and wait this out whilst taking the BP regularly so that the biopsy can go ahead as soon as possible. How is the blood pressure going is it going down? I hope it is now that some of the anxiety has been alleviated.
All the best and keep in touch.
