Thanks!
I had the 'digital' exam twice, in the early hours, when I was rushed into hospital with the blood loss into the oesophagus, in August. I was only semi conscious, due to loss of blood, but I half remember them saying it was to check for blood loss at the other end. I wonder if they might have checked my prostate at the same time?
I have been reading up on it and they check for size and roughness. I have had confirmation of the referral from the hospital, just waiting for the actual appointment now. The doctor sent a second letter on Monday, asking them to expedite the appointment as soon as possible.
The GP asked if I had any problems passing water, or needing to go often - so far I knew I have none, never need to get up in the night, ever.
I do seem to be pretty immune to pain, which worries me a little. Pain is the bodies way to tell you when something is amiss.
