Hi, this is my 1st post. It's great that these days, men are happy to talk about their prostate down the pub as easy as they do about the footie!

In March this year I did an e-consult with our local doctors surgery. I had/have no obvious symptoms but I'm 62 so I thought it would be good to have a test despite no family history. To cut a long story short, the doctor (locum?) talked me out of getting a test due to no symptoms and "false positives". I just felt that he wanted me off the phone and onto the next patients. As part of my annual check-up for other things (cholesterol, blood pressure etc) there was a raised result regarding my liver function. That was re-tested and my doctor said they'd "throw in" a PSA test. I think she'd seen the previous telephone consultation with the March PSA request. I think I've had 20 or so test - 7 vials of blood ie an armful. Everything else is normal - just PSA and ALP liver function high

The PSA result came back as 82 ie "significant". I've had a rush MRI and bone scan, the latter being yesterday - it was in just a few days so does show the NHS can move quickly if it has too. I'm told I have 10 days to wait for results and then a potential biopsy.

My question really is: Even though these tests are to rule out cancer, has someone on this forum had a similar high PSA and its only turned out to be an enlarged prostate. As above I don't really have any symptoms and I pass urine normally - I was only up once in the night etc.

Thank you so much in advance for your replies
