After a urine test and flow test Friday which seemed ok I’m getting anxious that the consultant didn’t say a lot and I had to push for a second PSA test which he has put in 6 weeks time which I think is excessive waiting. Going a little bit stir crazy not knowing anything to be honest.

Anyone know if this kind of wait is normal?

Hi Steve,

Many Thanks

Yes it’s 9.2

I have been speaking to a guy who had no symptoms but had to have a Prostectomy after a raised PSA and tested just on the off chance,

Regards

Hi again

Well not particularly high but you said that u had a urine and flow test, have u have urinary issues because that can cause a raised PSA

Hi Steve,

No urinary issues at all no. The PSA level is more than twice the normal level hence my push for a second test.

regards

Kevin
