Been away from this forum for a couple of weeks due to my next dx added: prostate cancer in for surgery next week. Yeay, got all the luck! Though in principle it's a quite curable form of cancer, depending on stage and pathology probably it's not and moreover I may be in for hormone and radiation treatment. Fun!

So my new combination is
Asperger's
maybe something bipolar
surely prostate cancer G7 (4+3) with a more nasty kind of grade 4 tissue

Interesting how priorities shift. The cancer thing moved from somewhere in the back of my head after initial elevated PSA readings to a top priority, and perhaps needless to add, the health system featuring 15min instantaneous diagnosis PDocs did all it could again to screw up.

Top highlights:
- they still haven't officially told me about my cancer diagnosis, I had to retrieve the biopsy results from a hospital archive query.
- my ex family doc denying a cancer specialist referral for lack of evidence of cancer, with blood values indicating a 45% probability of having a likely more aggressive form of it.

I've actually been too concerned and busy to experience anything in terms of episodes, though the whole thing seems highly unreal. And no, I'm not currently in a paranoid episode, this is real and I left the country to make use of better health cover I have elsewhere. Maybe I should take advantage of the opportunity to finally be seen by a decent PDoc as well.

Thoughts?
