Prostate cancer

Worrying, but good their checking.
Was your psa high, that brought on the biopsy?
I had a Multiparametric mri, in the autumn, as mine had raised.
I'd had an infection in the spring, which took several weeks of different antibiotics to eventually sort it.
During all of it, I had a flexi camera up the old chap, 2 mri's, 2 different CT scan and all was fine.
I can sympathise with your concerns.

had a scan and less intrusive biopsy in the past, when? then had a follow up out of the blue it all seem's a bit quick now!

At least they are on the case, all this wasn't so much fun in the middle of lockdown, I have the tee shirt although not a bone scan, they whipped mine out - after 6 months.

A chap who works for me came in on Monday, got straight to the point and said I’ve got 6-18 months

I didn’t know what to say?

How did he fare out? Still around hopefully?

For those that have to spend all night urinating. Did you hear about Chris Evans being told to massage the area behind his balls as he was passing urine. I have been doing this for years. You have to undo the belt and top button on your trousers to take away any constriction as well. Said to new capture who is a nurse and she thought all men knew that. Chris went from needing to pee 10+ times a night to only going once or twice. First decent sleep in years. Give it a try guys.

First I’ve heard of this - But tried it last night. It’s a long time since I have had so much pleasure…………..

Did they not explain what the bone scan was for? Was it a CT scan or did you lie on a table and get a DEXA scan for bone density?

Sad because you have no resolution yet, I was left hanging about for ages and that was worrying.

That is exceptionally poor that no one has explained anything to you whatsoever. A lot of people would understandably be terrified of all of this because they simply don't know what is going on or why. If a clinician is sending your for so much as a chest xray they should explain why and what they might be looking for. A CT scan or similar would have to be justified clinically as well so there is obviously some thought process behind it, that no one has communicated this to you is very poor in my view.

There is usually a liaison nurse attached to the specialist department so maybe you could ask to speak to them for an update and likely timescales.
Always worrying when you have had tests but no results

Or get your doctor to write to find out?

Get consultants email address and get in to them.
Their contact details should be on your hospital web site under relavant departments?

Further to my original posts on pomegranate juice and tamoxifen being 80% successful quoting Danish work from decades ago and also Oz prescription of a mix of all the dark red berries juice I read last week that uni research in LA has now described numerous health benefits from consuming pomegranate juice. Get with the programme boys. Best after actual pomegranates from Lidl is juice from MORRISONS. B
