Hello Ladbros, I was in the same position last year when I was 59. Your gp may want to take a repeat psa blood test, and discuss what might happen next, which would probably be a referral to a consultant urologist as there are treatment pathways to be followed.
Hello again Ladbros, it is good that you now have some dates/appointments set up. I had a first mri scan, then biopsies and then a second scan which was the one to see if it had spread, but yours might be different, so do ask the staff about the scan when you have it - they will be used to being asked questions, but won’t usually be able to give you the scan results, as these will go to a doctor to review.
It is difficult not to worry, to be honest I was the same…I tried to not let it become all that I thought about in the day, and tried to keep myself occupied and as well as I could.
Have you looked at the prostate cancer uk website - it’s got lots of very helpful information [that certainly helped me], and contact details of support that they offer [phoneline, email etc]? Well worth a look. Hope this helps….
