So it's been over two weeks since the Biopsy today I received a phone call from urology department saying I would get a further phone call on Thursday. Is this standard procedure? as I just want to know and move on
I'm not sure if you've had your phone call yet today Garfy but if not I just wanted to wish you good luck and give you our cancer nurses telephone number in case you wanted to have a quick chat with them about this. They're available on 0808 800 4040, Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m.
Hopefully some of our members will share their experiences with you soon as well.
When I had my biopsy for prostate cancer it was over a week before I got results.They will phone u and tell u the result, if clear u can just move on and will not after go back to hospital. If it's unclear they might call u back in for another biopsy. Try not to worry.Hope everything works out alright for you.All the best,john
Hi thanks all for the messages my biopsy came back as negative they are monitoring again three months and depending where my psa is a further biopsy maybe needed
Hi Garfy, i had my Biopsy on 18 Dec 2020 ( happy xmas ) The consultant was positive about my results in his own mind, and we discussed the situation with that in mind. I was given an injection ( hormone ) the same day to bring my PSA down ( 477 ), within 2 days i had a ct scan, 3rd day full bone scan. The Oncologist wasny until 06 jan, but evrything was confirmed. metatassies everywhere mostly up and down the spine. I'm waiting for a date to start Chemo, but i've been trying to get the covid jab before ! up to now unsuccessfully. Good luck with your results and any subsequent treatment.
