This lunchtime I had my 6-monthly abdominal CT scan at Arrowe Park hospital, which is the follow-up check for my kidney cancer. The results should go to MDT next Friday and then I'm hoping my consultant will contact me to let me know the outcome. I'm trying to put it out of my mind. Although there's absolutely no reason to suppose that the result will be anything other than "clear", I do find waiting for these things a little bit stressful, especially in the current abnormal circumstances that we find ourselves in.

Best wishes to everyone,

Chris

My consultant was kind enough to phone me this morning and let me know that my CT scan was clear, so that’s one less thing to worry about. I’m now moving to annual scans from this point forwards.

Next on the agenda is a PSA test in three weeks’ time. Just over a year now since I finished my RT.

Cheers,

Chris

Excellent news! I had my latest PSA test at 0930 this morning at my GP’s, and the results appeared on the surgery’s online system at 1817 (is that a speed record?). It’s now 13 months since I finished my RT and two months since I finished HT, and my PSA has fallen to 1.4, down from 2.0 in October. I’m really delighted with this; my oncologist told me that he’d regard a nadir reading of 2 or below as an indication of successful RT. A PSA score of 1.4 is pretty “normal” for someone who still has a prostate, I think, isn’t it?

Happy days, particularly when I look back to where I was when I was diagnosed a couple of years ago. I really couldn’t have got through it without the help of this forum. Thanks, everyone!

Cheers,

Chris
