Husband was put on Prostate 2WW. Currently waiting for a biopsy. I'm going out of my mind with worry.

Hi, 

My husband had a routine PSA and because the result was 4.7, he was put on the 2WW path. The DRE didn’t find any abnormalities but an MRI was recommended.

The MRI showed a PIRAD 4 area so now he is waiting for a biopsy. I’m going out of my mind with worry but trying my best not to show it for his sake.

Is anyone out there going through a similar thing and does anyone had any tips on how to cope with the anxiety?

thank you!

  • Hi Louise,

    Welcome to Cancer Chat. I know it's never easy dealing with uncertainty and waiting for information so I am sure this must be difficult. I hope it's not long to wait for the next appointment and any results to follow.

    Some say it helps to keep busy while waiting, and to try to focus on some things you enjoy to help take your mind off the worries. I know this can sometimes be easier said than done.

    I'm sure there will be others here who are going through or have been through something similar, so hopefully you'll get more replies to your post soon.

    Wishing you all the best,
