High psa

My husband had bloods done a couple of weeks ago, his psa came back high 39. I’m so worried as his brother was diagnosed last year with prostate cancer with a lot lower psa.

On Thursday 6th he had a CT scan,  tomorrow he is having a biopsy  and we received a message on MyChart today with another appointment at nuclear medicine department. Has anyone else been through the same. Thanks in advance

  • Hi Chinup12, 

    This must be a bit of a worrying time for you and your husband as he is going through all these investigations and I am sorry to hear that his brother was diagnosed with prostate cancer last year. I hope that you won't have to wait too long for the results of his CT scan and that the biopsy went ok yesterday. It can be hard to understand what all these appointments mean and what they are for and I hope that you will hear from other members of our community who have been through something similar.

    It is all a bit of a waiting game for you at the moment and this is a time when you are bound to feel very anxious and when you may be searching for answers and having to deal with all this uncertainty so I thought I would share with you these helpful tips to help you cope while waiting for important news. 

    Keeping everything crossed for you that it all turns out to be nothing concerning. 

    Best wishes,
