I have been undergoing tests for a prostate abnormality. This began with an examination by the consultant followed by MRI scan and biopsy. All of my appointments were arranged without any delays whatsoever and in the case of my biopsy the information I received in the form of a detailed leaflet was completely accurate and I felt sufficiently informed before the procedure. I was quite anxious about the biopsy but the consultant arranged another appointment for me and we discussed it, together with the other findings of my tests. I also contacted one of the Urology nurses who again helped to put me at ease. Another consultant performed the biopsy and it went very well with very little discomfort. The nurse assisting was very supportive to me both before and during the procedure. In summary I would say that my experience has been nothing short of excellent and I am very grateful to all the staff involved in my care.
