So...Following on from my prostate diagnosis I have been back to the doctor after the blood tests. The growth is a benign prostatic enlargement and no infection or cancer has been detected!
However I am now on a "course" of tablets which are supposed to deal with the outstanding, residual pain I suffer and if they don't work we move on to the next strongest tablets and so on until they do work. I am then on those tablets permanently. The ones prescribed have the least amount of possible side affects and they increase with strength. However, happy with the lack of the C word and on we go.
Thanks to the guys on here for all your support and well wishes
