For my husband they needed both back to take to MDT to discuss next steps as they wanted to see what response he’d had to the treatment before deciding on the best way to move forward. He’s now been put forward for surgery and we’ll be meeting the surgeon next month to find out more about the planned operation. His was a bit complex so It may be different for other situations
Thank you for your reply
Hope things go well for your husband x
My son is seeing his surgeon on Wednesday don't know what to expect I know he's having an operation but they aren't all the same are they?
