PSA Testing

In 2023 - 2 years ago my husband eventually went to his GP after I had been asking him to go and get checked, to ask for a PA test, the GP said that they wouldnt give him one because he didnt have any symptoms. I saw where CHAPS (a mens health charity) who were holding one of their events where men can go along for a £25 fee to get a PSA test, I sent my husband along and two weeks later it came back showing a medium result, he went back to his own GP and this time the GP did a PSA test for him and then he was referred to Ipswich hospital who then referred him to Addenbrokes hospital where he was given options and he went for having his prostate removed. If that had been left it would have been a very different story for him. He continues to have follow up appointments with Addenbrokes to keep a check on him including a regular PSA test too.
