Hi all, just joined this forum after diagnosis recently. It's great to see your mutual support and courage but I admit to being pretty scared too after reading!
I'm curious about treatment timescales to expect. I'll explain time line and welcome your thoughts....
Day 1 - saw GP with lump on glans. GP referred me to urologist and gave me a leaflet about urgent refleral process. I was told to call urology if I had not been contacted within two weeks.
Day 10 - rang urologist and got an appointment
Day 15 - saw urologist. After examination he wanted to get me back for circumsision (foreskin none retractable) and biopsy
Day 31 - Day surgery. Same urologist operated on me and came to see me after I came round from anaesthetic. He said he had found cancer and removed what he could access and sent sample for biopsy. He said I would need further surgery and/or radio/chemo which would be a Christies, Manchester. He also requested CT and MRI locally. The whole conversation was less than five minutes.
Day 35 - CT scan
Day 40 (today) - I have MRI tomorrow but I've not had any further contact since that conversation with urologist.
Should I be badgering urologist for progress or just be patient?
thank you,
Mark
