8 weeks since my radical cystoprostatectomy, went to see my consultant today after they had done mdt meeting. At last some excellent news my cancer has gone. No treatment needed, just scans and check ups for the next 5 years. I've been very lucky in them catching it quickly. They are happy with my progress and reiterated that it's not a sprint but a marathon to get full recovery
Very similar to my story. Takes a while for GP’s to think beyond prostate and handing out Tamsulosin.
I’m just over 2 years on from cystoprostectomy, just had the all clear from 2 year scan. Almost 80 now and very fit and active.
Good luck wth the rest of your recovery. Mine was robot assisted which I’m told leads to faster recovery but was back to (new) normal in about 3 months.
Whatever cancer throws your way, we’re right there with you.
We’re here to provide physical, financial and emotional support.
