Recurrent UTI's with raised PSA

When I had the bone scan they injected the tracer and I was told to return in two or three hours, but to keep clear of pregnant women and new-born babies! We repaired to the pub for lunch, and when we returned, Her Loveliness was allowed to sit next to me as the scanner passed over.

On a Customs reality TV show, a poor Kuwaiti woman caused a major nuclear alert when a hyper-sensitive Geiger counter set off an alarm at immigration at JFK airport. Her bags were repeatedly scanned as they feared something like a ‘dirty bomb’ Al Quaeda nuclear attack on Times Square. It was only when an Arabic interpreter arrived some time later, that she was able to tell the border guards she had had a bone scan in Kuwait the day before, and that she was radioactive, not her luggage!

Cheers, John.

Hi everyone,

Long time no post! This is turning out to be a long journey. An update is now overdue since I reported back in Nov 2018 when my PSA stood at 9 ( see prior history in my profile). Things are beginning to hot up!

I have just updated my profile to bring 'progress' up to date since. Not a great deal has happened. In summary 2 MRI scans have given a PI-RADS score of 2 with no sign of a tumour. However, the PSA has risen slowly from 9 to 16.1 over the intervening 15 months and I am booked for transperineal biopsy under local anaesthetic on 21 May.

So I should finally get a result and hopefully get to the bottom of this, one way or the other, and then I will know where I stand.

Not very exciting, a saga that started back in Nov 2017 with recurrent UTI's, but useful to someone hopefully

Cheers, Don
