Get it sorted marra.Would I not have pain inside my arse if that was the case?
I think I know the answer but want to double check. Three times recently there has been quite alot of blood on the toilet paper when I've been wiping. This is 3 times over about a 6 week period. I don't have any pain in that area or in my stomach so wondering if I need to see a GP or if I'm worrying about nothing. I'm 39 so getting to that age where I'm getting worried about any minor ailment but I am concerned that this time it could be something to really worry about.
It is most probably nothing to be worried about but for the sake of a check & quick chat with someone that knows about these things get it done. People do become over worried about what it could be with the slightest sign down there.Im a bit of a hypocrite here as I would bury my head in the sand but get that checked mate..im sure its nowt.
Stick at it you're nearly there. Accept for what it is & stay positive, you're the winner in this.Just a quick check in here. I'm just over half way through the radiotherapy sessions - another 8 out of 20 left. 2 weeks to go.
Must admit, starting to to feel a bit weary and the waterworks are getting a bit urgent.
My mantra on life has always been take each day as it comes and if its out of your control, what's the point in worrying.
Staying massively positive about it with the support of the family at home and you lot to be fair.
All helps. Cheers.

Morning all, hope everyone is doing well. Some great reading on this thread.
I mentioned earlier in the thread that I was being monitored regularly, have been for the last few years.
Well, my last psa test had spiked up to 10.4 and I had to go back to Urology for more tests. DRE and MRI both confirmed I have a suspicious area on the prostate and I was in this week for biopsy. One thing the doc said was that it's currently only on my prostate and not spreading.
Appointment next week for results and plan of action options. It's a bit wierd how after a few years it's suddenly real and to be honest it knocked me back a bit. I remembered this thread so thought I would drop back in and take a look.
How are you getting on @Undisputed Truth and others? I'm just kinda trying to deal with it and look at which way to go from here. Cheers all
What type of MRI did you have ? I have had 3 . First 2 were conventional MRI.Third one was at North Tees ,it was a new T3 machine MRI. Almost 3d ,very,very detailed.Ask if your consultant can get you this type or maybe it was this type ?Also you can ask to see who is the best person to deal with your prostate. One of the best was actually based in the N.E. a few years ago.Lists are available on NHS sites etc. Remember the most important person in the hospital is YOU !Morning all, hope everyone is doing well.

Lot's of people are NOT aware there are 2 types of PSA tests.Total psa and Free psa test.Total measures both free psa and psa bound to other proteins.The way I've been looked after at the Freeman has been great. I have now completed my 20 sessions of radiotherapy. I was last there 2 weeks ago today. It's the fatigue and the urinary flow and urgency which is now affecting me but I'm now on a couple of tablets to help with the weeing so there's a bit of relief there.
Just awaiting a consultation appointment to follow up.
To everyone on here who reads this, especially 50 or over. Get checked regardless and that includes requesting the psa blood test. It's a MUST !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And best wishes to all this affects.
CATCH IT EARLY x
Happened to me two years ago with blood on the bog paper.I think I know the answer but want to double check. Three times recently there has been quite alot of blood on the toilet paper when I've been wiping. This is 3 times over about a 6 week period. I don't have any pain in that area or in my stomach so wondering if I need to see a GP or if I'm worrying about nothing.

Lucky boy.Happened to me two years ago with blood on the bog paper.
Got a hospital appointment toute de suite.
Camera up the rear exit, they had a good rummage around.
Turned out to be piles.
Phew!
Sorry for taking a while to reply, just dodging out of work for a break. Yeah, this was a T3 thing. They said it was better resolution and detail etc. Gave me a score of 4 out of 5 which is why they called me for biopsy and further investigation.What type of MRI did you have ? I have had 3 . First 2 were conventional MRI.Third one was at North Tees ,it was a new T3 machine MRI. Almost 3d ,very,very detailed.Ask if your consultant can get you this type or maybe it was this type ?Also you can ask to see who is the best person to deal with your prostate.

Cheers mate and to you and everyoneSounds like you're right on top of things, thats all you can do. All the best!
