My (very youthful) 80 year old husband's PSA has been creeping up and is now 12. He has zero symptoms of prostate cancer but his consultant has recommended MRI and bone scans. He has had a very rough few years - major RTA with extensive facial reconstructive surgery, followed by tonsil cancer - now in remission. He has told consultant he will not consider a biopsy or radiotherapy ( he had extensive radiotherapy for tonsil cancer with awful side effects) and his Consultant is in agreement, but says if indicated by scans he could have hormone treatment. He also said at his age he may never have real problems with his prostate. Husband has had enlarged prostate for years and been on Tamsulosin. Rectal exam = no bumps but reasonably firm. I'm really very anxious about these scan results, but he won't discuss it at all and says he wishes he had never agreed to scans as he has no symptoms. He had the MRI this week but bone scan not for another 3 weeks and we are due to go on holiday before the results, which the hospital say won't be available for several weeks due to backlog. Really stressed about it all. Thanks for listening
