Cancer diagnosis

In September 2016, I made a rare appointment to see a GP after having a couple of dizzy spells in the summer, and was generally feeling a bit tired. As my sister and brother both have diabetes it seemed sensible to mention this to the GP. A blood test was carried out which revealed a high PSA level. After several somewhat intimate examinations I was sent for a prostate biopsy, which came back as positive for prostate cancer.
After further tests including an MRI, CT and bone scans, I have now been diagnosed with metastatic prostate cancer and have started treatment in an attempt to manage the disease.
