Hi Lesley.
Try not to get into a panic at this stage, I had an abnormal MRI scan but my psa was much lower. Mine came out as non cancerous, but I still don't have any information about what is going on with me. I felt that as soon as they could say it wasn't cancer they could just get rid of me off their caseload.
The trust where I was treated were pretty quick to get me from initial psa test to biopsy. I'm not sure if they all try to hit the same target.
I think the length of time your husband is waiting is excessive based on my experience.
Like you I worried that they can be so nonchalant, saying it's low priority. I'm pretty sure if we're them in the hotseat they'd be pushing to get tests done pronto.
What biopsy is he having? I had transrectal and although it was a bit undignified it wasn't painful at all.
We will all tell you the waiting is the worst bit and the NHS seem to be pretty poor at keeping people informed through this scary time. I got my letter to confirm my biopsy the day after I had it for example.
Keep in touch.
Mick
