This forum is for the discussion of anything to do with Prostate Cancer. There are only four rules:
No fundraisers, no commercials (although it is OK to recommend choices of treatment or medical people based on your personal research; invitations to participate in third-party surveys are also acceptable, provided there is no compensation to YANA);
No harvesting e-mail addresses for Spam;
No insults or flaming - be polite and respectful at all times and understand that there may be a variety of points of view, all of which may have some validity;
Opinions are OK, but please provide as much factual evidence as possible for any assertions that you are making
Failure to abide by these simple rules will result in the immediate and permanent suspension of your posting privileges.
Since this is an International Forum, please specify your location in your post.
Terry, it turns out that I didn't hear my buddy properly ( he was kind of freaking out at the time )as he had said to me that his PSA was 131 not 61. Anyways, you were right as per usual. He got rechecked and then found out that his initial number was 1.31 not 131. The nurse had read it wrong over the phone. He is so so relieved obviously.
Alls well that ends well, then. I can certainly understand your pal's concerns.
Hope everyone who reads this gets the message Get Copies Of All Reports You are entitled to them in most jurisdictions - at the most you may be asked to pay the cost of making a copy, which is peanuts compared with making a decisoin on the wrong information.
