I am now two and a half years post op for radical prostatectomy followed by radiotherapy.
My initial consultation was with the consultant 'SG' - and while frightened by the high degree of cancer diagnosis (as proven on biopsies) - I felt in safe hands. My MRI scan and surgery revealed the cancer to be more invasive than first thought.
I feel privileged and very grateful for the expertise of all involved. Today I attended my six monthly follow up - two and a half years following surgery, my results are normal and I continue on follow-up.
All the doctors and nurses in the clinic are helpful and try to reduce anxiety.Clinic delays are acceptable as far as I am concerned as all the patients need varying times with the doctor - and this cannot be foreseen before the consultation. I am happy to wait - can always read the paper.
Thank you for being there for me.
"Thank you for saving my life"
