Just looking for advice if possible - my Dad has been ill for 6 weeks and lost 1.5 stones. He saw a consultant last Tuesday who confirmed prostate problems. His prostate is blocking his bladder and he had gone into retention. He went back in on Tuesday and had his bladder drained and a catheter put in. He now has an MRI scan tomorrow (at a cancer centre). He feels awful in himself and no appetite (usually a very healthy eater). His PSA is only slightly raised. He also has terrible lowers back pain. I’ve been reading about enlarged prostate but given all his symptoms and the fact he’s being seen at a cancer centre I’m preparing that it might be cancer?
