DP has had trouble with waking up in the night for 2 years or so. He’s been to see his GP and had prostate tests, decided it was an enlarged prostate. PSA levels were fine. He’s 55 next month.
Last week at work his urine was bright red. He went to A & E and was examined, bloods done etc and dr said it’s probably a burst blood vessel in his bladder and booked him in for a CT scan.
Yesterday he woke up to peeing bright red blood again, went to work but then began to feel excruciating pain in his back so his colleague took him to A & E. CT scan shows a small growth on his kidney.
The dr reckons it’s been there for 5 years. They’ve admitted him and are doing further tests today. I saw him briefly last night after dropping him some things off. He looked awful but had been given morphine. He says there’s a possibility they will remove his kidney.
He’s been well in himself. No weight loss, eating well. Tired sometimes but when you wake 2/3 times a might to wee that’s expected.
He’s thinking the worst as the majority of his family have had cancer. His mum died in her fifties, he was only 18.
I’m so worried. We’ve only been together 6 years and I’m planning on another 20 years with him at least.
2020 is just the shittiest year
