What is your history, what was your psa. When you write prostrate cancer what do you mean?
they might do flow test, to see how restricted your urine flow due to your prostrate
they might also want to do a Dre finger up the bum. This will check how the prostrate feels and whether they feel a biopsy is warranted.
after that will be a biopsy, This will be a day appointment probably, I had a template biopsy which took 30 samples to check.
only after biopsy will they confirm cancer or not. You hadn’t mentioned how far through the process you are. If confirmed then options will be discussed, depending on results of a scan to check spread they will discuss options. 1. Braciotheropy, suited to older men whose cancer is contained in the prostrate
2. Radiotherapy again for older men with either contained or localised
3. Surgery for all especially when contained with a hope of cure
Ok Salvation, a PSA of 150 doesn't have to mean PC . Even your GP doing DRE couldn't say 100%.
But obviously 150 is fairly high so the first thing to do (via the urologist) would be a MRI scan to see what is going on followed by a biopsy to determine any cancer grade.
What prompted the GP visit and PSa, were u having symptoms?
My left leg and fooot were have been swollen since september I had 2 scans to see if I had blood clots all clear also an abdominal scan he then got the blood tests for psa
Ok, so wait and see what happens with the urologist, hopefully he can sort out a MRI scan fairly quickly to see what is happening but I don't think that PC can be confirmed at this point.
When u said GP checked the prostate I presume that was a DRE, finger up the backside, if so did he say if he found anything unusual ref the prostate?
