Possible prostate cancer

My husband has a urology appointment on Friday due to a PSA reading in the THOUSANDS!! He started with night time urination symptoms 3-4 weeks ago. Urine sample clear, blood panels show everything is working as it should, no anaemia, liver and kidneys working perfectly. This PSA score terrifies me! He's 53

  • Hello Sazzylou

    I'm sorry to hear that your husband has recently had some health concerns and that, following some initial tests, he had an appointment with a urology specialist. 

    How did the appointment go today? I hope that the urologist was able to give you both some answers and reassurance about the next steps. 

    If there's anything you'd like to talk through with one of our team of nurses, you're welcome to give them a call. I know they would be happy to listen and offer any advice, information and support they can. They're available Monday to Friday, 9am to 5pm, on 0808 800 4040. 

    Let us know how things are when you get a chance, Sazzylou. We're here for you. 

    Sending you both my best wishes,

  • Thankyou. It was a pretty short appointment today. Consultant had a feeling of the prostate which felt quite firm, so until confirmed otherwise it's being treated as cancer. He has a biopsy on Tuesday and will have scans. He was given injections in his abdomen 

  • Hello Sazzylou

    I'm glad to hear that the team were able to start moving forward with a plan for further testing and that, in the meantime, he's been started on some treatment. 

    Do give the nurses a call next week if you need to, and keep us updated regarding his biopsy results. Hopefully you won't have to wait too long. 

    Keep in touch.
