Very low PSA

Hi all, I recently had ct and mri scans that detected a 16mm tumor on my prostate. This is despite having a recent psa of 0.8! I'm currently waiting for the results of a targeted biopsy and m naturally s******g myself as I also have severe constant pain in my lower righ back. Has anyone else had similar conditions and what was the outcome?

  • Hello Trevorol

    I'm sorry to hear that you're currently waiting for biopsy results after recent scans showed a tumour on your prostate. It's understandable that you're feeling worried ahead of your results. 

    We know that many people find this period of waiting for results difficult. The uncertainty of now knowing can leave you feeling anxious about what may be ahead. Often it can help to chat things through and I wonder if you might find it beneficial to chat with one of our team of nurses. I know they will be happy to offer any advice, information, and support they can. If you'd like to chat with them they're available Monday to Friday 9 am to 5 pm on 0808 800 4040, excluding bank holidays. 

    Hopefully some of our members who have similar experiences will reply to share their experiences but do keep in touch Trevorol and let us know how you get on. 

    Best wishes,
