Hi everyone my hubby had just blood test his PSA 4000 I asked him to take a re test

His PSA is 4000 in no time they call him and start

Day1 his hormones njection, I asked him to go for another PSA test (but he didn't want)

Next schedule we were for another blood test for full blood count for iron,b12, kidney , results will discuss need appointment 

Now we are doing his bone scan at this minute and another citi scan ( they inject him earlier, so we wait 3hours to this bone scan)..after that the nurse said Citi scan same day

And next week need to call for appointment regarding the results of his second blood test 

Is there anyone who is having PSA high like my husband they want him to go biopsy right away without seeing his scan test? It's very fast not even asking him his alternative option please help need some clarity 

  • Hello SantaRita

    I'm sorry to hear that your husband has recently been going through a number of tests following a high PSA result. It's understandable that this might all feel overwhelming for you particularly as things have been moving very fast and you've not yet been given a clear diagnosis. 

    Hopefully now that he has had the additional scans and blood tests, when the hospital team call next week they will be able to give you both some clear answers about what is going on for your husband and discuss the options for treatment that may be avaiable. 

    If you think it would help to talk with one of our nurses for some advice and support in the meantime, you're welcome to call them on 0808 800 4040, Monday to Friday 9am to 5pm. I know they will be happy to listne and offer any information they can. 

    Do keep in touch SantaRita and let us know how he gets on next week. 

    Best wishes,
