Blood Tests

Hi All

I had excellent results when I visited the oncologist in January (PSA undetectable) and I'm due for a follow up appointment next month

The tests I'm having are Renal profile, LFT's and FBC which are usual plus this time testosterone.

PSA isn't on the form this time - should it be?

Thanks, Arthur

I would have thought so Arthur - a bit pointless measuring your testosterone without your PSA :-(  Certainly worth checking with your nurse specialist (if you have one) or phoning the consultant's secretary.

Thanks Lyn

Just had a phone call from my consultant's secretary, she's posting me a new blood test form to include PSA test
