My husband has just done a psa test and result is 162 - waiting for more tests

My husband has just done a psa test and result is 162, we are now waiting for more tests, I'm so scared, how do I cope 

  • Hello Piglet123

    I'm sorry to hear that your husband is currently awaiting further tests following a recent elevated PSA test result. It's understandable that you may be feeling anxious. 

    It's important to remember that a raised PSA test result is not always indicative of cancer. There are other reasons that PSA can be raised, which is why your husband has now been referred for further testing. 

    We know that for many people, this period of waiting and uncertainty can be difficult. We have some tips and advice for how to cope with waiting for news that you may find helpful. I also wonder if it might be useful for you to chat things through with one of our nurses. I know they will 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. 

    Keep in touch Piglet123 and let us know how things go. We're here for you. 

    Best wishes,
