Hi
I had a prostatectomy on 27 August at The Churchill. Alistair Lamb conducted the surgery and i can only say that I was very lucky that he was my surgeon. Not only is he a leader in the field but he is a caring person. He called me the evning before the operation and phoned my wife shortly after the procedure. Once again, I should commend the nursing care at The Churchill Hospital, Oxford. i was in for one night. I seem to have recovered quickly although I have not been sleeping well and I shall be mightily relieved to have the catheter removed tomorrow. There are then two further tests. The first is whether i suffer any incontinence once the catheter is removed and the second is whether my next blood test showsa reduced PSA count.
Best
Roger
Hi Roger
That's great to read what a brilliant experience you've had recently and I hope the tests you still have to have will also be positive for you.
It would be great if you could pop something about your diagnosis and treatment so far into your profile as it really helps others when replying to you and also when looking for someone on a similar pathway. It also means that you don't have to keep repeating yourself. To do this click on your username and then select 'Profile'. You can amend it at any time and if you're not sure what to write you can take a look at mine by clicking on my username.
Wishing you all the best
