I had a high PSA reading about four years ago - had the disgusting internal examination and the even more disgusting biopsy at the Heath and the even more disgusting infection. So glad that the results came back clear. I wondered whether the high reading had been caused by riding my bike a day or two before the bloods. Anyway, I wanted to get the PSA down and while there are drugs, my doctor for some reason didn't seem interested in prescribing them. So I started a course of saw palmetto. My PSA went down to 6 and dropped slightly every six months until January when it it was up to 7.5. Oh dear! The regular peeing is a fact of life now, and before a match for example I stop drinking around 11.00 or I'll spend half the game in the bog. It can be frustrating as only last Saturday I'd dearly have liked to have been bought a pint in the Canton before the game by one of my fans, but this was impractical.
