I know what you're going through.
Hope all goes well.

Fingers crossed, though hopefully not during the examination.

No not yet.
Re: Got fingered for the 2nd time
I had a biopsy after a PSA reading of over 10 and a 'finger' examination. Not the nicest of experiences - especially as with all the muck in that region, post-biopsy infection is possible. And that's exactly what I got. The doc quickly put me on a massive hit of anti-biotics 'cos he said if an infection got hold there, it could be the devil to eradicate.
Anyway, the biopsy came back clear. My PSA dropped to about 6 and has been steady ever since. I'm sure the original high reading was due to hard cycling. I also had blood in my semen a few months back - and again I put that down to cycling. Three weeks ago, I had a little blood in the urine - but that was an infection. The reason I'm prattling on here is that there can be all manner of reasons for prostate probs - not necessarily the BIG C (as guys have said on here). So maybe best not to dwell on things until the docs have a definite prognosis - which may well be quite positive.
I've been taking saw palmetto which I'm sure has helped - and about three weeks ago, I started using pygeum and I feel I can see a definite improvement already. My objective is to manage the prob naturally and gradually shrink the prostate so that all the associated symptoms improve.
I wish you well with the results of the tests.

Plenty of good advice there - based on what was said during my prostate scare three years ago and what has been said during his, I'd like to think that it will end positively for Jeepster.
Best of luck :thumbup:.

As the old white mail enters its senior years it hard to smile sometimes , we are considered as dinosaurs for our views , not diverse enough , too old to work in the modern world , sexist, grumpy , things stop working , and then someone wants to apply a finger where the don't shine , happy days , rise up , be strong .
