Best of luck for tomorrow. My first appointment post SRT was the usual PSA nightmare scenario but, thankfully, it proved to be a positive reading for me. I next see the Urologist in March and already I’ve started the worrying process again. It’s perfectly natural to feel this way. As said, fingers crossed for you.

Dave.

Me and the missis had a grump and then just shrugged it off.

It’s comes of dealing with multiple people and departments and them never being clear on things like handoffs.

If you phone the GP practice, your PSA result should be on the system.

I have access to the online system - would it be on there?

If your GP has approved access to medical records, yes, but if not, as in my case, no! It seems that it is down to the individual GP whether they permit patients to exercise their right. Shocking, as I'm sure Bollinge would agree!

Thinking on it all I remember seeing was prescriptions so I think mine are locked.

I don’t think I have the courage to ring up after today because today took a lot out of me and if the results show I’m a dead man walking I’d rather talk to the onco right away.

PSA 0.07 and T 14 four months after SRT. Which means this is an unmasked reading not yet at nadir. I’m hoping it should be the same or better in four months.

Thanks for all your kind words and support. Time to focus on getting fit and whatnot.

That's good news. What is testosterone normally?

As you say time to move on and get fit etc.

Great news, a good place to start from after SRT,  long may it continue. Put PSA to the back of your mind and try living a stress free life.

Thanks Chris

All we can do - is do all that we can.

So, do all you can to help yourself, then make the best of your time. :-)

I am the statistic.
