I received a letter received issued on 21st June saying my PSA is still higher than normal at 5.3 ug/L and that a prostrate biopsy was being arranged.
No other readings such as %free etc given.
It also didn’t give me an option not to have the biopsy, just that it was being arranged.
I do now know better and that I had a choice about having or not having this, but it hadn’t been explained to me. I also know now that if I had had the chance to exercise my Bupa private healthcare insurance then there were alternatives to the biopsy that could probably have saved me the problems associated with this invasive procedure.
You live and learn.
