  • Hello bowlegs and thanks for your post,

    I am sorry to hear about the different symptoms that you are experiencing. If your PSA is being managed by your GP it may be a good idea to ask your GP whether you should be seen at an earlier date at the hospital particularly if your urinary symptoms seem to be getting worse.

    The hospital may suggest a different treatment option depending on what you have had before.

    We do have a page on our website about possible treatment if the prostate cancer comes back

    Do let your GP know about your concerns.

    You are welcome to give the nurses a ring on the helpline if you would like to talk things through.

    the number to ring is Freephone 0808 800 4040 and the lines are open Monday to Friday 9 am to 5 pm.

    All the best,

    Catherine
