Don't I know about how lucky you can be , in 2014 I had appendicitis when they did scans to see how inflamed the appendix was they found a mass on my right kidney ( cancer ) in which I had part of my Kidney removed , without my appendix playing up I wouldn't have known about it until it was too late .since then I have annual blood tests and scans , those blood test have now shown my PSA has risen from 3.9 to 8.7 from last year to this year three months later it has dropped to 7.6 , so I am on three monthly blood tests to see if it comes down any lower otherwise more scans and biopsy will be next.
