Prostate cancer

[tommybooth]

All the best mate. Had some issues down there myself but i think it was just a twisted bollock. Asked for a PSA test which came back clear.

Cheers, yea think tablets mentioned help with urine issues rather than reducing swelling of prostate. I will ask for PSA results when next speaking to surgery

Tamsolosin will relax the prostate , I’ve had retention a couple of times had to be catheterised one of the biggest concerns is damaging kidneys

Hi all just a quick update from myself regarding my diagnosis, I had the surgery last week it ended up being a four hour operation, I was allowed home the following afternoon,very sore but best I recovered at home than taking a hospital bed slowly getting back on feet hope to have the catheter and staples removed on Thursday. Steadily improving day by day. Even it’ll be some time before we now the outcome the surgery it self went very well. So we’re all very positive. Please don’t forget to get yourselves checked out and let’s keep talking.
A massive thanks to all the PM’s you’ve sent.
Onwards and upwards ,
Up the blues.

Can you have a test without any obvious symptoms?

Yes mate you can .. I did the test with no symptoms. And we found out I had prostate cancer , yes it’s scary but it’s all about time
Am I unlucky I’d say no I’m lucky…we found this at the age of 52 the glass is definitely half full BB.Even though I’m not out of the woods I’m positive, as I’ve said mate don’t wait for symptoms it doesn’t always show them pal.

Definitely all males over 50 should routinely be tested. Just before lockdown I had the PSA test I didn't have any symptoms but had the test due to my mate finding the cancer after a work medical. My PSA was 3.9 and a biopsy confirmed level 1 cancer. I am now under active surveillance, not great because I know it is there but relieved that it is now monitored. Hope all goes well mate once the surgery affects wear off

Hi m all it’s getting very near the end my fundraiser for prostate cancer uk . We’re currently on top of the league for the March for March campaign it closes on the 14th of April.
so tonight I’m auctioning a signed program from Kyle Walker and photo sent from the club to help raise money this comes with a authentication certificate plus I’m putting my signed autographed ticket stub from serg when he broke the record for being out all time top scorer I was there that night and managed to get my ticket stub signed with thanks to Brian’s Kidd’s son . If you would like to place a bid pm me. Also I’ll through some rare programs in as well.
Take care and up the blues.

PSA 3.9, blimey I thought mine was a low positive at 4.6.

Hope all goes well for you

Following Brachytherapy, Radiotherapy and Hormone jabs I'm now a steady 0.01 so can't complain

All over 50 should get tested
