Prostate Cancer

Well I hope you are correct, time will tell.
 
Should know about the third week in July hopefully.

Hoping for either.

Chronic prostatitis.
Or.
Benign prostatic hyperplasia .

After all these years it has just started to get worse. As you say time will tell..
 
It's the headaches I don't like, I never get them normally, and the crap reversing too of course.
 
BP is another issue but I seem okay with that, and of course cardiac too but I seem to be ok so time will tell on that too.

So is sleepless nights .

Gets one thinking about the hospital appointments and then you start to think is this really necessary
And the more you think about the more it seems no.. consultants aren’t stupid with all the facts in front of them they have a good idea on what you might have .
In my case he’s not sure . So life goes on and I have other things I want to do rather than have an appointment. Made for me say at 2 pm at a hospital not in my area and then told arrive at least an hour before .. Why .. no one knows .

You can guess the rest.

Just go and get it done is my advice.

As others have said, get it done and sorted. Living in the dark is way more difficult than knowing. As you have already said, it has been going on for many years, so is likely to be BPH, but you need to know. Reading this thread and personal experience with family and friends, I consider myself very lucky. I have BPH, but as I said somewhere else on this thread, my brother has stage 4 Prostate Cancer. Friends who I have known for many years are suffering and some have gone.

No matter why they want to do something, follow their lead and submit yourself. of course question, but rely on them having your best interests at heart. Best of luck to you. (y)
 
After a lengthy conversation with the consultant between us we have decided to let nature take its course.
It seems there are many options now and I will be contacted very soon with yet more decisions to make.

So onwards and upwards now. All sorts to sort ready for a week away in the Moho.
Everything has been completed so I don’t think there is anything that still needs to be done to update the old Moho.
Hope the weather stays nice but most likely not.😂
 
Well after watching this thread for quite a while, it's happened to me, I'm 60 my dad was found to have prostate cancer at 75, so I was concerned on reading the stats that 1 in 8 men get prostate cancer but if you have an immediate relative it doubles and goes down to 1 in 4, psa wasn't too bad 3.98 but had been creeping up and had a few pains in lower back and doctor noticed a nodule on prostate after the internal finger thingy examination so doc decided mri, it came back a small shadow and the consultant offered to wait a year then another mri or have a biopsy chose the biopsy option, at present I am laying in Kendal hospital after my transperineal biopsy, after having a general anaesthetic, it was advised I have a general due to the fact that I found the finger examination very very painful, 1 in 20 men have a small anus apparently, so it looks like my wife has been correct all along and has been saying for years " I'm a tight arse"😆 get results in 2 weeks, hoping if it is the dreaded big C at least its been caught very early and I can be closely monitored.
 
Well done for going Budgie,.
 
Well done for going Budgie, that biopsy was awful for me, I am allergic to the jab they gave me, and I came out with blisters all over, I became aggressive which I reserve for tossers normally and I had hot flushes all over my body, I've had the same jab before when I had to do a bladder flow test.

Liz and I have just been talking about the 3-month hormone therapy, I'm not going to continue with it, she can do it or at the docs but I'm going back to the monthly one as I am having some chest pain and I do not want to go through any heart stuff if I can help it.
 
3 rd 3 monthly hormone jab Monday, I was rough for 3 days this time ..never had much trouble before.
Total fatigue hesd acke joints on fire .
Haho it's keeping things at bay .so they say.
 
Went to doctors last Thursday as didn't feel good .so let's check you over mri .appointment just come through .Thursday 7 days ..waiting fantastic george Elliott hospital.
