Hi all,
Just found this wonderful resource. I've not been diagnosed as yet. Had bloods taken about 3 weeks ago, GP suggested I have a PSA test, I'd had one done slightly before COVID which must have been fine. No symptoms, apart from getting up often just once during the night for a pee. So I was shocked to be brought back into GP surgery to be told PSA is 9.1. (age 67) although DRE suggested no abnormality, I've been referred to urology, going tomorrow only 12 days after being referred, actually could have been in last week but I had COVID!
Reading through the posts on here has been a revelation to me, since getting PSA result I've been very anxious, trouble sleeping and now it appears this is quite normal. I feel reassured that the journey I'm setting out on has been followed by all of you on here, and that the diagnostic procedures are not as worrying as I'd imagined. One thing I've taken from what I've read on here is that I need to stop overthinking things, and I certainly need to stop Googling symptoms.
Anyway, hopefully things will be ok tomorrow, I'll update when I know something concrete.
