PSA rising

My husband had a telephone review with his oncologist last week. I can’t remember if I have posted on here already but the results of blood test showed that the PSA has risen from 1.5, six months ago to 3.8 now. Oncologist says he is not to  concerned about it at the moment but if the PSA increases by next review, in three months time, he might want to do a CT and bone scan. My husband is not doing well recently, feeling more tired and having upset stomach. He had metastasis in bones, spinal cord compression and lymph nodes. I am very worried about him because I don’t want him to be in pain and to feel uncomfortable. I guess I just need reassurance that he is not going to get worse but that would require a miracle….xx 

  • Hi   yes you did post Consultant review here.  If you need help on pain management, I wonder if you have access to your cancer nurse specialist or GP.

    Best wishes, David
