Hi MarkMolly68,
Welcome to our forum and thank you for sharing your story. I am sorry to hear you have suffered from low back pain for six months and that you have been feeling more tired at work. You did the right thing to flag these symptoms and to get your bloods done and I hope that you have had a chance to discuss your results with your doctor so that they can advise you on what to take for example to help with the low Vitamin D.
I hope that you won't have too long to wait for the biopsy and that you get a bit more clarity soon once you get the biopsy results. You might be interested in reading the information we have on our website on the prostate biopsy and if you wanted to talk things through with our cancer nurses or ask them any question about the biopsy or anything really, feel free to ring their free helpline on 0808 800 4040 - it is open Monday to Friday from 9am to 5pm.
Waiting for tests and then again for results can be very stressful and I wanted to share with you our helpful tips on how to cope while waiting for important news.
I hope that you will hear from other members of our community who have been in a similar place before and that they will share their experience with you.
Best wishes,
Lucie, Cancer Chat Moderator
