Question
You need to ask these questions to your haematologist or oncologist, as they are beyond the scope of this QnA.
AML is complicated in general, and the answer is never straight forward.
For example, the correct treatment in your case may also depend on genetic and molecular sub-typing.
Your haematologist will have access to all the necessary information and test results (which we do not possess), in order to give you the most appropriate advice to your questions.
Thank you for your question. From the clinical history that you provided, I agree with the doctor whom you saw and with Dr Winston Lee that your symptoms are suggestive of acid reflux from the stomach. Specifically, since your symptoms are mostly in the throat, it is called Laryngopharyngeal Reflux (LPR). The most likely reason that you have a feeling of something stuck in the throat or a feeling of a “lump” in the throat (aka as globus sensation) is due to swelling of the voicebox (larynx).
There can be other causes for raised PSA other than cancer, like prostate inflammation, infection, benign enlargement or perineal region trauma. The first step is to rule out all these reasons that may be causing the elevated PSA. Should there be a need for more advanced measurement of PSA parameters, your physician can further advise. It would be good for you to see a urologist for a full clinical consultation and examination before proceeding further.
