I have lost my threat again.

My dad has prostate biopsy booked in for tomorrow at 11 and he has podiatry booked in for 3.30.

May I ask is this doable I'm worried he going to be in pain after it.

He also has CT scan the next day it gone from everything going slow to speeding up.

Dad also has suspected skin cancer on his nose so waiting for an appointment for that.

With his feet his toenails are falling off and it unclear what the cause is. When I have good images these ( I know I shouldn't have) that has come up cancer too. So it essential he goes but now I'm like is he going to manage the two appointments in one day. I can't rearrange the CT as we have been waiting for this as everything he is eating is going straight through him. He won't do the stool sample test. He lost an awful lot of weight in feeding him up but no sign of weight gain.

Sorry worried and panicked.

Kind regards

Sasha

Hi Sasha not sure there is a definitive answer but I would keep the appointments. After my biopsy I was a little like a wounded animal and wanted quiet, but could have managed another appointment and it might even have taken my mind off things. Most healthcare professionals make allowances for other symptoms and age in my experience.

Best wishes, David

Hello Sasha,

Guys react differently to the biopsy but in my case I only felt a little uncomfortable after having it & even stopped off for lunch on the way back home. As David2017 says it may even give your dad something else to focus on & if it helps his feet situation then even better.

If he doesn't feel up to it then I'm sure podiatrist will understand if you have to cancel at short notice.

Hope it all goes well tomorrow.

Best Wishes

Brian

Thank you David. Crazy been waiting for a few weeks for appointment to come through and now they come through all at once I am relieved and thankful as I'm on A/L this week so don't need to sort cover for my shift in work to manage to take him. I can't get through to chase up for skin dr. Urgent referral went in 4.2.26 and we haven't received an app as of yet.

Thank you for always taking time to respond to me. I truly appreciate your time in responding.

Thank you. He very stubborn so he probably say he fine and carry on. Just need the answers now. It feels like we been waiting for a long time. We haven't but it draining waiting for answers. There so much stuff going on with him it figuring out what to sort out first. It overwhelming at times.

Thank you for taking time to respond. I really appreciate it
