Consultant wants to see me after prostate biopsy

I have been reading the comments on this page, and I can totally understand that feeling of despair and uncertainty. It's like a black cloud hanging over your head. I had a prostate biopsy two weeks ago. I have just had a call from the hospital asking me to come in, in two days' time as the consultant wants to speak to me. They wouldn't tell me anything over the phone. I'm 39, so very rare for my age, but prostate cancer is rife in our family. I suppose I'm thinking if it's good news, why can't they just say it over the phone? Thank you for sharing your feelings and experiences; it is comforting.

  • Hello CSnel, 

    A warm welcome to our forum! I think it's tomorrow you will be seeing the consultant so I just wanted to wish you the best of luck. I am not sure why they wanted to see you in person; it's hard really to draw any conclusions from this and I just wanted to say we are thinking of you and we hope that everything goes well tomorrow. Everything tightly crossed that it all turns out to be fine! 

    It does help to talk to someone else who has been through the prostate biopsy process and hopefully other members of the forum will be along shortly to share their story with you. 

    Best wishes and best of luck for tomorrow's appointment,

  • When this happened to me , they gave me a choice if i wanted to come in, or would prefer a telephone call to hear the result,. I wouldnt read anything into it... anyway , good luck.
