I have been very satisfied with my follow-ups.
Since I finished the treatment back in 2018, my follow-ups have taken place every 6 months. The most recent one was at the beginning of November this year (2020).
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 appointment which was scheduled for the 9th November 2020.
I had the blood test at the end of October and took the phone call as arranged on the 9th. 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 (0.09) 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 and 0.09. and I am very grateful to everyone at the at the Christie Hospital and the staff of the Macmillan cancer centre. I have now been discharged into the care of the Urology team at Leighton hospital.
