2020 The Covid 19 Pandemic Year

 2020 the Covid 19 pandemic brought the whole world to its knees. Every thing were halted and locked down. Most hospitals in the country were remodelled to be Covid 19 centres causing massive disruptions in scheduled hospital check ups and visits.

I was also effected by the frequent movement orders in place and strict compliance to MOH health requisites and SOPs. I requested to delay my scheduled PSA check ups and monitoring to 6 months as my PSA baseline for the year was 1.5. Had a check up in August 2020 and recorded the PSA level rising slowly to 1.65.  All was good until my PSA rose sharply in 2021 surpassing the BCR marker level of 2.0 for RT treatments. Time for a PSMA scan for metastasis.  Col Allen
