Don’t forget you’ve been through a lot and stress itself will cause some weight loss. Both my husband and I lost nearly 2 stone each….part in change of diet but stress was definitely a factor.

I would make sure they keep a close eye on your PSA though. Had you done any of the things that can raise PSA before the test eg. exercise/cycling/ejaculation?? Have you managed to speak to your consultant since your latest PSA??

I done plenty of ejaculation, is that a bad thing, and I do alot of walking, I travel about good job I have a train pass and go places.

I see my consultant in December, but on 20 Sept see my GP for a review.

when I'm out travelling I don't gey stressed as much.

They say not to within 48 hours of your PSA test as it can cause a temporary rise. Not long until you see your GP so he may recommend you repeat the test. Hopefully that will be partly responsible for the rise.
