"Considerate and efficient."

I had considerable concern regarding prostate cancer. I was presenting with, what I believed to be the classic symptoms of the condition. On contacting the surgery I had no difficulty in obtaining a GP appointment after outlining my concerns. The GP was most understanding of my worries, and in an unhurried manner explained in detail what would be happening next. In particular what medical procedures would take place following the results of the PSA blood test, should it prove to be positive. Nothing can take away the fear of cancer, however the manner in which the GP talked me through the screening process and it's options, MRI, prostate biopsy etc. left me with a positive outlook. In the event further tests proved negative, and although I am awaiting ultrasound examination to determine the exact nature of the problem, my recent experience with all medical staff at the surgery have made me feel far more positive.
