Hello everyone - I have been recently diagnosed with Prostate Cancer following my yearly blood tests. My journey started at the end of August and following a series of tests I had a telephone call with my consultant on the 15th of September who advised that I had cancer. I found him very reassuring and he went through the options in a manner that left me feeling confident and reassured that I was in safe hands. A couple of days later I received a call from my designated nurse who went through the options and was reassured by our conversation.
I subsequently received a number of documents to assist me in my decision and I was extremely impressed with the documents and in particular, the advice for Spouses/partners- first class.
I have agreed to surgery and will COVID -19 permitting will have my surgery on the 23rd of November
The journey from a blood test to diagnosis has gone so quickly I can only describe it as a journey on a high-speed train.
I wish everyone all the best in their journey and not forgetting our families who are supporting us in our journey that they also have the support they deserve
