It was an interview with the renal registrar. The concern was the sudden dive in my kidney function since January, for which she could not find a cause. She is now waiting for the prostate MRI on Tuesday, to see what that might show up, taking of possible biopsies and making more appointments for me.

MRI prostate scan yesterday evening, renal specialist is waiting for result of scan too, thinking prostate might possibly be causing my kidney issues. So a wait now, for the results reports. I asked whilst having the MRI for a copy of the scan images, to have a look myself out of curiosity - they would not supply a copy, I have to request it via the application form, rather as I expected, but worth asking. They said they used to get lots of requests from patients for copies, but few ask these days.

The kidney consultant from St James rang today, to say the blood they took for test, showed my number back to near normal, so she is less concerned. She said she wasn't interested after all, in my prostate MRI results, as it was less likely than she had first suggested, to be a cause (????).
She is suggesting the sudden spike in values, was probably just a temporary spike. She asked me to make an appointment with my GP for another blood sample check in around 10 -14 days. I'm just waiting for the prostate MRI result to come through now.

That sounds like good news Harry, well done.
I myself have now received the letter from the urologist consultant, the one that gets sent to my GP. It basically says they cannot see any clinical cause to why I have right testicular pain, that I do have two 2mm epididymal cysts and small varicoceles on right side which are not clinically apparent. That my last ultrasound scan which was performed over one year ago was unremarkable, they haven't even offered to perform a more up to date scan. She has now referred me back to the pain clinic for ilioinguinal nerve block, plus she goes on to mention that she will speak with her colleagues at the next non cancer MDT meeting for their input, and that I can seek a second opinion if I'm not happy. I thought the MDT meeting was a few weeks ago, that is what the last letter I receive said. I've since seen my GP who is now referring me to Dorchester hospital, lets just hope they are more knowledgeable than Bournemouth. |

I know this can be a sensitive and painful subject to some of guys out there, so on a lighter note I now know why I get frequent pains in my bits down there it is only when the wife comes home from a shopping spree I feel I have been kicked in the nuts. Rev |

I have just received a letter from the prostate consultant, who has checked out my MRI scan images. He says all is fine apart from having an enlarged prostate which is normal as you age. There are no follow ups planned, though I have to have my PSA checked (blood test) annually, to keep an eye on it just in case it increases beyond 10ngs/ml. On the kidney issue... I had a phone call on Thursday from the hospital, who said they were holding an urgent kidney biopsy appointment open for me, awaiting the result of the GP's blood test, which they had requested I should have done two weeks after my renal consultant appointment, so I had fixed up that appointment for next Monday. Hospital were a bit miffed that they would have to hold their appointment open, until Tuesday, to see whether I might need it or not - if only they had said. Could I speed up the blood test appointment? So I requested an earlier appointment for blood with the GP, for first thing yesterday morning - the hospital should have had the results yesterday afternoon, to be able to decide whether I needed the biopsy or not. [EDIT] I nearly forgot - I sent off a form requesting a copy of the MRI scan images and the CD with the images arrived Thursday, signed for delivery. Around 300 image slices, one series horizontal, another vertical, then two more series which were impossible to work out their purpose. I managed to work out what many of the bits and pieces in there were - I could even see my dinner :-) [EDIT 2] My apologies to Dallas, I do seem to have kidnapped his thread with my own troubles.

I have just rung the hospital, to find out what they thought of Fridays blood test results, and... They want me to go in for a pre-appointment in a few days, then what sounded like the biopsy in May – they just called it ‘the procedure’ over the phone. My own reading of the blood test results suggested my numbers were much improved on the previous figures, which had caused the initial panic, but what do I know.. Serum creatinine level (XE2q5) 255 umol/L [64 - 104] - Above high reference limit Serum urea level (XM0lt) 11.7 mmol/L [2.5 - 7.8] - Above high reference limit
