I’ve already mentioned my prostate cancer follow-ups. Now, I want to bring you up to date with the latest follow-up.
I got a “blood form” last year so that I could arrange a new blood test. This needed to be in time for my next test which was scheduled for November 2022.
I had the blood test at the end of October but this time there was no phone call as it was arranged that I was considered suitable for remote monitoring. Because of the Covid-19 situation, I didn’t need to attend the hospital for my follow-ups.
Thankfully my PSA number has remained very low (0.06) this time so it looks as if the Consultants promise to cure me has actually come true. Just out of interest my number has been very low every time I have had a PSA test since finishing the radiotherapy treatment.
The actual numbers have been: <0.01, <0.01, 0.03, 0.09. 0.07 and this time it was 0.06. I am very grateful to everyone at the at the Christie Hospital and the staff of the Macmillan cancer centre. I have now been monitored by the Urology team at Leighton hospital since 2020
