This story started approx. 10 years ago when Hubby attended GP because of changed urination patterns.
No enlarged prostate but mildly elevated PSA (I forget details)
Biopsy (I may write about biopsy trauma later!) revealed cancer Gleason score 3+3 in one of 6 cores on one side.
After MRI the course decided was active surveillance (AS) with PSA testing approx. every 3 months, results wobbled along at approx. 4/5/6.
Second biopsy failed to reveal any cancer and MRI was ‘nothing to worry about’ Repeat MRI (2019 -Hubby refused another biopsy) and a bone scan (2021) resulted in no change to management.
PSA testing continued at 4-6 month intervals until last year when there was a gradual rise in PSA and blood tests were repeated.
By December 2024 PSA had risen to over 10 and a further biopsy, MRI and bone scan were recommended.
