[|Human|] Hi, may I answer your health queries right now ? I am 55 yrs old and am having a prostate biopsy in 2 wks, as my PSA was elevated (was 1.1 14 months ago, was 5.6 in Dec 10, then to 2.8 on 2/1/2011, after being on antibiotics for 6 wks. Urologist says there is a hard spot on one side of my prostate. I have not been feeling well overall for a couple months ie.,symptoms such as bowels not normal (constipated, now very thin movements, some diarhea, some swelling in legs, Latest symtom this morning my temperature was 95.5 when I woke up. I drank a cup of tea, went to 98.1, and is still at 98.1 a few hours later. Is low body temperature a sign that I do in fact have cancer? If so, soes it mean the cancer is aggressive? Should I wait 2 weeks for the prostate biospsy or try to have it sooner? (Dr s office said that s when the next time is available)? If body temperature goes down again, should I go to ER?
[|AI|]  Hi, dairy have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. You have hard spot in prostate. You may have benign prostatic hyperplasia, or it can be prostate cancer. But your symptoms are not due to cancer so don't worry about that. If your PSA level is very high then you should go for urgent biopsy. If it is borderline high then no urgency is there. Consult your doctor and go for biopsy on schedule. Then you should take treatment accordingly. Hope I have answered your question. If you have any doubts then feel free to ask me. I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using Chat Doctor. Wish you a very good health.
