Ok, I got the call can I come in for the results.
The Doctor and nurse come in and explain everything.
Then say I am very Sorry we have found a Cancer and we can't just monitor it we need to act quickly.
I tried to keep my cool but the tears welled up in my eyes.
Again the hospital staff were wonderful and once I got a grip of myself and regained my composure we had a laugh.
So I have Prostate Cancer and we have to act either radiotherapy or surgery!
This Monday morning I will have my bone scan

Biopsy time.
People do not be overly worried, it is not painful, granted it's not pleasant 😆.
You will have a strong antibiotic injection for post procedure to prevent infection.
You lay on your side, the doctor applied gel and the machine is pushed up the back passage. The machine is spring loaded so when they take samples it is a loud snap so you do jolt but you get used to it, takes about 10 minutes...yes the longest 10 minutes but not painful. You have are also give some antibiotics to take for the next few days.
You then have a two week wait for them to contact you again.
I will be honest I still thought...no I haven't got Prostate Cancer, I'm fit and have no symptoms!

I then had to wait for the results.
A few days later on my way to deliver a training course. Urologists call to say they have found something suspicious. I listen and ask the question do I need to be worried? Not necessarily was the answer, we need to have a biopsy to find out more...
I am now a little worried but I have no symptoms of Prostate Cancer!

MRI Scan.
Nothing to worry about.
The machine is large and very noisy, and confined but you have a panic button if you get into a panic...I feel asleep in it, well it did take 45 minutes.
The hospital staff were great

1st I had to be weighed and height and fill in questionaire.
2nd p*e in tube and that is tested.
3rd I had a ultra scan of my bladder, all ok no issue.
4th Digital examination, or finger up bum to examine my prostate. Now do not worry about this it is not painful, I wouldn't like one on a regular basis but it is very quick 😆
I was told my prostate was smooth but she said let's have a MRI scan today!

Call from Doctors surgery saying the PSA result was slightly high at just 4...people can have it into the thousands! So I am now passed on to the urology department of the Hallamshire Hospital

So, I decided to go to the doctor because I had digestive problems for weeks! I thought I had IBS or something similar.
I had no Water Works problems!
My doctor decided to send me for a range of blood tests because of my tender stomach and diarrhoea
The blood test were taken and no real issue found, I was informed to have my PSA blood test retaken.

The aim of the page is to raise awareness of Prostate Cancer and show people the path they will follow.
