Well Guys the plot thickens!
Dave attended an appointment on Tuesday this week at the Royal Preston Hospital where he underwent his RT treatment. it was just a follow up etc. They said he was doing really well and were pleased with him. They took a blood test and said they would check his PSA level.
In Dave's wisdom he decided this morning to ring them and get the results, sometimes you have to be careful what you wish for. His PSA has now shot up from 10:5 ( 6h Dec) to 15:00!!!!
AS you can imagine we are now extremely worried. We have spoken to our specialist nurse at the Christie Hospital this morning who has got in touch with our onco, again she has said she is not overly worried ( wish we were as confident) as yes the PSA is a good indicator as to what is going on, however the well being of the patient was also an indicator, and Dave was doing great, working, going to the gym etc and was feeling generally very well.
However to put our minds at rest she would arrange for a scan just to see what was going on, and to still attend the appointment on the 5th Jan as previously arranged.
So now, we are in a worse position as the PSA has gone up since last week??!!! We will still get a blood test done on the 30th December and hope and pray that this has gone down, but who knows?
The thing is with all this, you have to be very patient and that's not one of our strong points :(
Anyway as it goes on I will keep you updated.
Cheers
Amanda
