The appointment was with Dr Pandalai an Associate Specialist rather than with Dr Carter the Consultant who I had originally dealt with.
My PSA level had increased slightly to 6.9 in the most
recent blood test and the doctor carried out an internal examination there and
then. He reported that he could feel a small abnormality on the prostate.
He explained the course of action that he proposed. The next step would be an MRI scan which might then by followed by a biopsy of the abnormality. This would then determine the treatment that might be required.
As you might imagine, my level of concern increased significantly. I told myself there is no point in worrying until you know exactly what the problem was. Easy said than done of course.
