Sad news indeed for a truly star performer. I was diagnosed with prostate cancer hack in 2019. It was fortunate an alert doctor checked my prostate and sent me for a scan. I went on a watch and wait, where they check your PSA every three months. Then late 2022 it was decided due to raised PSA ( If it doubles, which it had, treatment is necessary) so I went on to hormone treatment which lowers your PSA as testosterone apparent accelerates the cancer. Then early 2023 I had five weeks of radiotherapy. My PSA is now below one and is checked every six months. I am lucky. Any problems with your waterworks don't hesitate to get checked out. |  | | |

My PSA level was 7.2!!!. Had a scan and all ok. It was that high due to enlarged prostate. I'm on tamsulosin now for this and last check was 5.4. They test me every year. |  | | |

It acts as a reminder that this terrible disease does not discriminate.
No one is immune.
As a bloke in their early 50s, I'd noticed things just weren't quite right with my water works. Slow flow, more than usual toilet breaks and annoying after flow!
I'd had a PSA check a while ago and all good, but still wasn't happy so went to see the Dr. He offered me another PSA check then offered the "examination".
I have to say that whilst a little undignified, it was over in seconds and confirmed there were no concerns.
I only share this, as it's brought peace of mind and it might encourage others to take the plunge.
And the finger. |  |

Exactly the same symptoms as me. Specialist told me that 1 in 4 with a high PSA count will be because of cancer. I will say though that if symptoms deteriorate go back to the docs as a PSA reading is only a rough guide and not a diagnosis. [Post edited 20 Oct 2024 15:10]
