Hi all,
I'm Kate, and my partner is having tests to determine if he has prostate cancer. It all started with a PSA of 35 which then led to a nuclear med bone scan which showed a suspicious lymph node but no other evidence of spread, which I am holding on to as a positve for now! He then had a multi parametric MRI, which came back as a grade 5, and we are now awaiting a date for a biopsy. He is convinced he will need surgery to remove the prostate but I've said to him, let's get the biopsy done first and see where we are, and go with the advice from the specialist. I might be burying my head in the sand, but I don't want to jump too far ahead at this point! I think he's been talking to his golfing cronies, and it sounds like 1 or 2 have had similar experiences but no two cases are the same, we just have to get the biopsy done first and then see how the land lies! We both work for the NHS and have informed our respective line managers, just as a heads up really , for any future possible appointments/procedures.
