"Prostate cancer treatment"

I was first diagnosed this year and the attention I received was, quite frankly, outstanding. The scans, consultations, deliberations and treatment were all apace and speedy, without panic but in time. I was most impressed, and the information given to me was comprehensive and comprehensible. I was involved and consulted about all the decisions and informed as to possible outcomes. The staff who cared for me were never hurried, and explained everything as it went on, even during the biopsy, which would have been much more traumatic without their care and gentleness of spirit.

Eventually I had 4 weeks of radiotherapy at Ninewells Hospital Radiotherapy department. The staff there are of the best I have encountered, just as before. I would run out of superlatives, but I will say they were welcoming, caring, professional, empathetic, patient (especially when, because of the side effect of radiation, I had to rush from the department to the toilet!) and exceptionally flexible in the appointments and treatment. They are a credit to the NHS and I will always be in their debt. I Have an appointment soon with the consultant to determine the success of the treatment, and will update my comments accordingly. My thanks to you all.
