国立T病院での再検査でPSA36.4の結果が出た後、「自転車乗るのを少し控えてもらって、再度検査しましょう」と言われてから約1ヵ月。
1ヵ月の間に数回乗ったきりだったので、これは間違いなくPSAの値は下がってるだろうと意気揚々と再検査に望んだ結果、出た値はなんと47.0
ガーン…ガーーーン
さすがの先生も「これは即、生検しましょう」と表情が一気にこわばり、緊張感が走る
ここでようやく自分も「あ、あれ？自転車のせいちゃうんか！？」ともしやの可能性を疑いはじめたわけです
先生はさっさと2週間後の生検予約を入れ、「じゃあ次は生検でしっかり調べましょう！」と。
帰ってから、前立腺がんの生検について色々調べてみると、痛そうやし、入院もせなあかん、なんかたいそうやなと一気に及び腰に
いさぎよくないのは承知のうえ、何とかして生検受けたくない＝やっぱり癌ではないのでは？下がった睾丸に問題があるのでは？と信じたくて、再度近所の泌尿器科で国立T病院の結果を伝えて、診てもらうも「睾丸には何の問題もないから、早く生検受けなさいっ」と説得されてしまいました。どこまでも諦めが悪い私です
覚悟を決めて入院の説明を聞きに行き、もう90％生検受ける気持ちでいましたが、一縷の望みをかけ、睾丸に問題があるのではないか否かを再度国立T病院の先生にほぼ飛び込みの形で再診察してもらい、「睾丸には全く問題がないです」のお墨付きをもらって生検受ける気持ちが100％固まりました。はぁー、我ながら悪あがき
生検についてはまた次回のブログで！

[4] PSA uprising, Part 2
Hello, I am Nichara, fighting Prostate Cancer patient.
One month had passed since the PSA test at the T-Hospital and stop riding road bike.
Since I only rode my road bike for few times in past a month, I was confident that my PSA score would definitely be down, but the result was very shocking …
“47.0!?”
The doctor's expression stiffened and said, “Let's do a biopsy right away.”
I finally said to myself,
“You are overreacting.”
“I’m sure that is from riding bicycle.”
“It’s probably something...”
The doctor immediately made an appointment for a biopsy two weeks later and said,
“Well, let's do a thorough biopsy next time.”
After returning home, I did a lot of research on prostate cancer biopsy and found that the test looked painful, required hospitalization, and seemed like a big hassle.
I know it's not a good idea, but I still wanted to avoid getting biopsy somehow.
“Maybe it's not cancer after all, right?”
“Maybe my testicles causing all these problems, right?”
So, I went back to my urologist and told him about the results from the T-Hospital, but he convinced me that there was nothing wrong with my testicles and that I should have a biopsy as soon as possible.
I am still can get rid of the last hope of avoiding biopsy.
I went to the T-Hospital again to learn about hospitalization and biopsy procedure.
But I held out hope that there might be just a problem with my testicles.
So, I went to see him without appointments to ask about my testicles for the last time.
He told me once again that nothing wrong with my testicles.
After the last struggle, I realized that’s end of line and decided to get biopsy as scheduled.
Well then!
