Awaiting Results.

Following two blood tests before Christmas my PSA is rising each test. Had confirmed I have T3 lumpy prostrate and scans two weeks ago.

Have a biopsy tomorrow and feeling so tired.

Main concern is a pain on the right side of my abdomen and painful back. Have read it could take a further two weeks for biopsy results. Should I report to urology tomorrow my symptoms for some pain at least.

Very similar to everyone on here the waiting is certainly stressful but worried about the secondary symptoms.

Wishing everyone well and any advice will be greatly appreciated.

Many thanks and kind regards,

Rob

  • Hello Rob

    I'm sorry to hear that you've been having some ongoing health concerns and that tomorrow you're due to go for a prostate biopsy. It's understandable that you're feeling concerned. 

    Do talk to the team tomorrow about the pains and tiredness that you're experiencing. Hopefully, they will be able to give you some advice and reassurance to help while you're waiting for the results. 

    If it would help to chat with one of our nurses at any point, then you're most welcome to give them a call. I know they will be happy to listen and offer any advice, information and support they can. They're available Monday to Friday 9am to 5pm on 0808 800 4040. 

    Do keep in touch and let us know how you get on. We're here for you. 

    Best wishes,

    Many thanks. Pain and discomfort is adding to my concerns. With a number of delays following my initial urgent referral in December just wish to move forward as soon as possible.

    Once again many thanks and will keep you posted.

    Kind regards,

    Rob
