[QUOTE="martsnow, post: 979261, member: 213703"] A bit off the subject of Diabetes,- I was told by my G.P. that I was imagining the signs and symptoms of Prostate Cancer. My dad had just been diagnosed, and I had exactly the same symptoms. Obviously being a bit worried I went to see my G.P. He looked at me and calmly said [B]"I know that you suffer from depression and paraonia so do you think you could be imagining that you are peeing yourself?."[/B] I was gobsmacked so asked the G.P. to prove me wrong (I was 47 at the time.) and send me for a biopsy. The day after the test I got a personal phone call from the G.P saying "I am sorry, but one side of your prostate is precancerous and the other side is cancerous" Three months later the precancerous side had turned to cancerous and the cancerous side had gone into an advanced stage. I had to be admitted to hospital the next week for a radical prostectomy. If I listened to my GPs initial advice I would have died many years ago. The moral of the story is[B][U] "If you are not happy with what your G.P. tells you always ask for a second opinion or demand a referral to a specialist"[/U][/B] [/QUOTE]
