My husband's PSA is rising, although a biopsy last year ruled out cancer. We dug out the letter from the hospital that we got last year and re read it.
"We are writing to inform you that your recent investigations have shown no evidence of clinically significant prostate cancer. In line with current NHS guidelines' no further investigations are required at this time and you have been removed from the urgent two-week-wait pathway.
However, no test is perfect, and there is a risk that the tests are falsely reassuring. Therefore, we recommend regular PSA blood testing at your GP practice and if your PSA blood test gives cause for concern, we have asked your GP to refer you back to us as described below.
PSA Blood test Annually
GP to re-refer if: >9.6"
Due to the doctor strikes we never got to discuss his results with anyone as his appointment was cancelled and they never rebooked it.
Have made an appointment with the GP but wondered if the phasing of this letter means he has a clinically insignificant cancer.
