Hi all,
I've posted in the general but thought I better say hello.
52 and blood test came back with PSA 4.9
Some issues with low white blood cell counts and high liver readings.
Doctor has done the digital and says enlarged smooth.
I'd say I have no symptoms, but maybe I do and maybe it's my mind playing tricks.
Pretty constant lower back pain, seem to dribble after passing stools.
Ejaculation somehow feels different, but had the snip in November.
It might sound daft but I'm paranoid it's there and spread, but would this be possible with a 4.9 psa ?
I'm hoping the irregular bloods are causing the fatigue and lethargy, and my psa is naturally 4.9 ?
I have the mri Monday, and scan Tuesday for a lump in my chest.
Any thoughts please.
Hi Steve1973 - do you have any history of prostate cancer in the family? AW
Unsure, I don't really know my dad's family as his biological family history is should we say shrouded in mystery after the war.
My dad has been in for tests related to prostate in some way, unfortunately he has late stage dementia so unable to help
