    Whereabouts is the testing today?
    Go to the main reception, big queue now for the testing.
    Cheers.
    Jus got in, there’s about 50 in front of me, not sure why it’s so busy, as I had the same time last year, just walked straight in. Didn’t need you paper booking.
    They clearly anticipated people not bringing their forms, as they had already printed a copy with the bottom section detached!

    It didn't help that i had a guy in front of me who had a 2.45 appointment who went in at 1pm....They dealt with him but I did think that was a bit of a liberty...

    It is, in terms of an Innnis tackle.

    If you receive a notification of a high PSA do not panic, follow the advice to see your GP.

    I recently had a high PSA of 10 and my GP referred me to Guys Hospital.  An MRI was inconclusive, so I was asked to do another PSA test and the result was a higher reading of 13.

    I then had a biopsy of my prostate. Last Monday I was advised that I did not have any evidence of cancerous cells. I will now be tested again in 6 months and thereafter every 12 months.

    The purpose of the post is to reassure but also to ensure you follow up your test.

    Even if the test is negative send the results to your GP, I was first put on "prostate watch" following a negative result following the first PSA  check at the Valley, as my GP still thought it was a bit high.

    Finally, as a result of all this, I was given a drug that has significantly reduced the number of times i need to pee during the night.

    As the lady said to me "Thank you for bringing the form". It helped her find the label part needed for the blood sample.

    Got my results too. I’m coming up to 64 and my PSA was 0.35 so I’m Green. Had an enlarged prostate a few years ago and had it shaved. At that time my PSA was 4.5. So I’m reassured that the surgery has probably worked. Thanks to @Tracey for organising

    Great to have over 400 men tested and to have the results back within 24 hours - hugely impressive. 

    I see the next crop of testing days include events at Burnley FC and Carlisle FC.

    Green for me, but with a 6% rise on last year’s test result, I take it that’s ok, as my next recommended test date is Feb 25. 

    Do you just email your test results to your doctor?

    An excellent service from all those involved. Thank you Tracey.

    Green.
    i panicked when I saw I had the result today.
    Thought it must be bad news.
    I was 30 mins early getting my 13:15 test, but there weren’t many there at the time, so they let us go.
    Amazing effort by Tracey and the team.
    Next test 2026
