We get my dads mri scan results tomorrow. He’s in his 70s and has a level of psa 11. I am going out of my mind with worry.dr felt prostate and it was enlarged and dad does have to go to the toilet frequently. We’re praying that is not cancer. We are so scared
Tulip, I wish you and your family all the best.
What is it that you're scared about? That he has prostate cancer? He probably does - about three quarters of men of your dad's age have prostate cancer, and almost all men have it by their 80s. It's a natural part of the ageing process for a man. That he's going to die? Put that thought out of your mind. With a PSA of 11, if he does have prostate cancer it is almost certain to be localised, and localised prostate cancer in many cases requires no treatment, and if it does need treating, the treatment is highly effective. You get treated and you get on with your life.
Stop worrying!
Cheers,
Chris

I agree with the other posts, just because someone says "cancer", it doesn't mean anything really bad will happen.
