"Biospy of the prostate"

I had a prostate biopsy on 24th January 2017 following which I had a 3-monthly blood tests which revealed that my PSA was increasing again. Following a blood test on 13th February 2018, I had an appointment with a consultant in D11 on 28th February who advised that I have another biopsy as there was a part of my MRI scan which was indeterminate and he wanted to concentrate on that part of the prostate to be sure that there was no cancer in that area. I had the biopsy on 18th April.

From the letter giving me the appointment, to the pre-op in B39 on 12th March, to the admission suite in B32 on 18th April, to the biopsy, and recovery in B42, my treatment by the nurses, anaesthetist and consultant was superb. I was given clear instructions prior to my operation. The anaesthetist and consultant explained the procedure in detail, I was well cared for after the operation and was given a leaflet giving advice following general anaesthetic, specific advice following surgery and action to take should I need it after leaving the hospital. I was also told that a follow-up appointment would be forthcoming in 2.5 to 3 weeks. Although this may have been routine for the RUH it gave me great confidence and peace of mind regarding my treatment. THANK YOU.
