I have received fabulous treatment from my GP and more recently the Urology team. I had a tumour removed during a TUBT surgery, and a short time after get called in to discuss the MDT team findings. The tumour was removed, although it had spread into the the urator and I have a significant amount of carcinoma in situ. The urologist advised me that I needed a radical cystoprostactectomy and a left nephrouretectomy. This surgery is urgently required, but a ct scan showed a ? On a T1 vertebrae, so I needed an MRI scan to have a closer look. I understand that this will potentially alter the course of my treatment. Notwithstanding all of the above, I wanted to shout out for the incredible NHS, we are so fortunate and privileged to have . The rich cultural diversity of the staff made my short stay much more interesting, I hope my next time which will of course be very much longer will be punctuated by such colourful and friendly staff. So thank you GP’s andNHS staff for taking care of me.
