Hello,
My partner has been diagnosed with early stage prostate cancer (Gleason 3 + 4). We have been told that he needs treatment (radio / surgery) but we haven't met the oncologist yet (8th May).
The Macmillan Booklet is v helpful and also mentions to make sure you have choice in hospital / surgeon.
I work for Macmillan where we hear about regional inequities etc.so I am even more mindful of not just accepting what we are given without having some agency in those decisions.
My question is - where we can go for reliable data / information on the quality of cancer care in hospitals and consultant / surgeon review?
We are in North Yorkshire. My partner received diagnosis from Airedale Hospital. We are meeting an oncologist in Bradford St Luke's and he may receive treatment from Bradford or Leeds (which I am assuming is St James/ Jimmies?).
Many thanks for anything you can share.
Caroline
