Just a question. Dad had PSA done on 13th Feb. Oncology appointment was for 14th March. He is away in between. We just received a letter to say Oncology appointment has been changed to 18th April. That is nearly 2 months after PSA test. Does dad need to have another PSA test done before April's appointment? I doubt a lot will change in that time but i guess you never know... Any advice?

Thank you!

I would contact Onco or secretary & ask - I usually get my blood test done a week or two before the appointment.
Now I don't actually have an appointment, just a letter to say All OK a few days later. But I have the option to contact them at any time if I have concerns.

Thanks Bob,

Spoke to Oncology today. They said he doesn't need another PSA done for April as his PSA has been stable. They will try and bring the appointment forward if they can. Hope all is well with you!
