Back to normal

Let's start with the fainting fits mentioned in the previous post. I had a CT scan of my head on 18th November and saw the neurologist about it and the faints yesterday. After a chat and a physical examination he told me he believed I had just been having faints rather than fainting fits. The impact of this is that he says I can now drive again and come off the medication over the next week. I do, however, have to advise the DVLA of the blackouts but can tell them he says I am fit to drive.

I had a Prostap injection last Monday and a PSA test. The results of the test were a raised PSA level of 30.1. As I suspected, the rise is almost certainly because the test was done too soon after the TURP procedure (only 32 days). I will make sure I have another PSA test before I see the Urologist in January.

Today I had my latest check up following my testicular cancer. Usual blood test, X-ray and physical examination. Progress is as expected and my next check up will be in six months instead of the four months it has been.
