Following a recent medical 2wks ago, PSA 8.7 age 52 and have no symptoms so was a complete shock, 2nd further blood test from GP 8.2, MRI scan booked next week
Good Evening Cru08
A warm welcome to the Macmillan Prostate Cancer group, although I am so sorry to find you here. I am Brian one of the Community Champions here at Macmillan. I am on my 4th year of my personal Prostate Cancer journey.
A cancer diagnosis can be a shock at first but Prostate Cancer if caught early is very much curable and a PSA of 8.7 isn't too high. I see you are booked in for an MRI - has your team mentioned a Prostate Biopsy as this is on the normal full diagnostic pathway?
Make yourself at home on this friendly group and feel free to ask any questions, however trivial.
Best wishes - Brian
