Anxiety/ Loneliness feeling

I was diagnosed earlier this year and am on active surveillance. Getting tested every 3 months.

My PSA levels are up and down however, I have started a new job and decided to keep details private from employers.

My anxiety about active surveillance is increasing as I feel lonely now, everyone doesn't seem to ask anymore about me. I understand everyone has own lives but mental health can be affected from being on active surveillance too and not knowing outcomes.

Also, now considering telling employers so that I can have time off for appointments.

Any advice is welcome.

Thanks

Hi Kiwi and welcome

I understand what you are going through but active surveillance isn't too bad really.

If you can give some figures that can help with advice.

So, last few PSA, Gleeson, what does the MRI say.

You say that people don't ask anymore but obviously nothing much happening cos on AS.

Just make sure that u keep your eye on things with PSA tests and 12-18month MRI.

Best wishes

Steve
