In some areas, it works the opposite way round - they contact you earlier if the results are positive. John got a letter in the post with a date for scans before he got the appointment letter for the biopsy results, so we knew what they were going to tell us before we got there :-/

Not long now until I get my results. Wednesday is a day I will remember for a long while no doubt

I have been keeping myself busy to try and take my mind of thevwhat ifs.

Now it is coming around to tge day I fond out it is at the forefront of my mind again.

I have been reading the leaflets and also copy of letter urologist gave me for the GP.

I should have asked at the time but didnt think

I wondered if anyone knows what this means

Prostate 5.26 MRI - 2 prostatitis

Thanks in advance

MRI 2 is probably the score they have allocated to the images - on a range of 5, a 2 indicates that they think it is unlikely to be cancer and it sounds like they suspect prostatitis, which is an infection that can be seen on MRI

The 5.26 I am not sure about; did they do another PSA test? It could be that your PSA has dropped a little bit since the last test.

I am very pleased to say that I got the all clear today. So so relieved.
I have an infection hence raised levels. No treatment required as will sort itself out.
But I am to return in 6 months to make sure infection gone.

Thank you to all that have offered support and advise.

And good luck to all that are fighting PC.

Happy days!

I hope you get your wee-wee problem sorted out soon now, best of luck.

Hopefully, your PSA will be checked regularly in future. You should ask your urologist how many of his patients who present with symptoms like yours have not got PCa. I suspect the majority, but not a vast majority.

Cheers, John.

Excellent news - I told you not to assume an early appointment automatically meant bad news! Delighted that you've been given the all-clear.

Very best wishes,

Chris
