Prostate Test

I went to the doctors because I have lost a lot of weight and the doctor said because it was rapid weight loss he wanted to do a Prostate test ..

I have never been more scared in my life of what had to be done then I was due to have a appointment with my consultant for something else who made appointment for the CT scan the doctor never even offered the ct scan but sending me for the camera ..

I also had to do a poo sample also 

I've lost more weight since the Ct scan and I seen the consultant on Tuesday and he was looking at my other condition and said he would write to me about my CT scan ...but he didn't look like he was happy saying it to me as the report hasn't come back fully yet he seen little bits of it he said ....

plus I'm on methotrexate injections too 

3 days before Christmas I had the Prostate test and the doctor said try and enjoy Christmas as much as you can 

 i was like are you being for real im so confused who taking the he lead in my care and who doing what I have appointments everywhere and when asked neither know anything 

 

  • Hello Ccfc1921

    I'm sorry to hear about all the health issues that you're dealing with at the moment. It sounds like it's a difficult time for you and it's understandable that you may be feeling confused and anxious about what's going on. 

    Do get back in touch with your GP about your prostate test results. Hopefully, they will be able to give you some reassurance about things and advise you about any appropriate referrals or further tests that they want to arrange. It may be that your GP has had an update from your Consultant about your CT results as well and hopefully may be able to give you an update on that as well. 

    If you'd like to chat things through with one of our nurses you're very welcome to give them a call. I'm sure they will try to offer any advice and support that they can. They're available Monday to Friday 9 am to 5 pm on 0808 800 4040. 

    I do hope you have some answers soon. 

    Best wishes,
