Just a reminder that the fundraising is, by looking at the website, about £1400 short so do pop a few quid in if you can.2

Had the test at 14.00 yesterday and the results in my inbox at 08.07 today - very impressive turnaround. I did panic a little thinking something needed flagging up ASAP but result all good (0.43).3
-
Really impressive turnaround, green as well 0.67. Well done to everyone involved2
-
Very impressive to have a result already. 1.07 for a 66 yo is pleasing 😊
I really hope that everyone gets good news.4 -
Which one is the score - the PSA number or the free to total ratio ?0

Very impressive results service. Thanks toTracey and all who helped organise.2

Couldn’t be better yesterday. Straight in and out. Got to talk to Scott Minto and heckle Curbs. And a result this morning of .51. Great work to all involved especially the ever smiling Tracey. On,y thing that scared me other than Oxford going forward was my result had an amber background but I found a green result2

Although I have a blood test every year, my doctor just tells me everything is normal. It is really better to see the results in the written form with the guide lines for each age group and to get the results in less than 24hours, normally have to wait 2 weeks to get results from the doctor. Well done to Tracy and everybody else who organised. If you have not donated please do so ASAP.4

No events planned near me at the moment and getting in to see my doc is harder than breaking into Fort Knox so have ordered a home test. Last time, 3 years ago, was around 1.0 so fingers crossed around the same this time.
Speaking of fingers anyone got a link to a diy guide to DRE. Just asking for the wife...1 -
The initiative inspired me to get a self-test kit as I was unable to attend The Valley on Saturday. It is one of those things I have never quite got round to. Fantastic service.3

DA9. Have a look at the end mate. I walked in with him as well. Must be his good looks.0

Not 100% sure, but I don’t think fitness is relevant with a PSA test.oohaahmortimer said:0.42 my result for an unfit 51 year oldMine was red, (back in 2017/18 was it?), but further tests showed enlarged prostate, rather than cancer. It was pretty scary for a time, but I still made it to Amsterdam on the fundraising bike ride.So if you get a red result, don’t panic. 🙂
PS I had a MRI scan rather than a biopsy. My PSA score is a bit lower these days, which is reassuring.5 -
Lol, no doubt he was trying to chat her up 😂😂Greenhithe said:DA9. Have a look at the end mate. I walked in with him as well. Must be his good looks.
So glad he did it, hopefully will be seeing him on Saturday so will ask him how he got on.
On a serious note, please, please please gents, get yourselves tested in general.
I’ve not had a PSA test, but I did have other tests just before Xmas due to other issues, thank the lord that I did, they discovered a small tumour, later diagnosed with stage II cancer.
Thankfully they said it was caught early, and after an operation in mid January and subsequent tests and scans I am all ok. I am starting a small course of chemotherapy next week just as a precaution to tidy things up, but I know I am one of the lucky ones, a lifer on here has a Charlton pal who has recently been diagnosed terminal.
I was never in pain or discomfort before my diagnosis, and it was something relatively trivial that led me down the path to my diagnosis.
So I implore you, no matter how strong, well or fit you think you are, go and get tested, it really could be a life saver.

All the very best to you DA9……and to all of you who got red or amber test results.
What a fantastic project this has turned out to be, without question lives will have been saved and as an ongoing annual scheme, more will be saved further down the line. 👍
Well done to all those involved, bless you all.4 -
Although I wasn't part of the testing I thought my PSA history might be of interest, especially to those with a "red" result. In 2013 my PSA was 18.9, I had a biopsy which showed no sign of cancer. I was told that I had a large prostate which was the size of an orange as opposed to a walnut. In 2019 my PSA was 20.6 but in January this year the PSA had risen to 28.3. I was referred as an urgent potential prostate cancer patient and had an MRI which thankfully once again showed no evidence of cancer. I'm in my 70's and am proof that a high PSA does not necessarily mean cancer.

Just ordered a home testing kit.

Just sent off my home test on the back of being moved to order one by this thread.
All us old gits should be doing this, at least for peace of mind.3
