My dad was diagnosed with localised aggressive  prostrate cancer between Christmas and new year.
We had no idea he had it until a chest infection put him in hospital end of November where the routine bloods showed a high count so more investigation was carried out. To top things off he also has a stone on the opening of his bladder which is being removed this month .

SO THE MORRAL OF THIS IS DONT DELAY GO TODAY

11 month old only grandchild being ill and needing us to taxi him and his mum back and forth to hospital at short notice every time
the above grandson and his parents waiting for house move papers to go through final phase and a move that will require our help at very short notice.
Other medical commitments already booked for myself sinse last August,,,just anual checkups
I think I am the last person in our family to be able to find 'me time' for anything

Can confirm these things cannot be ignored. My father had waterworks problems but, due to problems over my grandparents, he ignored it until it was too late. Similarly, I ignored a "blocked throat" feeling (due to another operation the year before for something else) and did not know I had a thyroid cancer. When it was removed it took up most of the free space on one side of my upper chest.

For some time I've been thinking that some of my posts have not been coming up, yesterday confirmed it, I asked you if you had had a biopsy, I'm thinking you must of had if you know it's not cancer. Cheers john.

[brbluewill]

hope everything works out ok for you but you must get it seen to sooner rather than later

[longbridge]

I agree with the others Jon, its not a medical emergency unless you cant pee but don't muck about just go and get seen too.

Cant speak for the UK but here in Oz if an older gent gets prostate cancer they just take a watch and wait approach, I was told by my GP that if an autopsy was done on every elderly man that died just about all of them would have prostate cancer, he also told me that most old men die with prostate cancer but not from it.

I`m reliably informed that cancerish cells can be diagnosed from a  specialised blood test and a biopsy isn`t needed if it comes back clear

Having been wed to a nurse, I also believe that to be the case. Keep your chin up - we're all rooting for you
