Appointment with Urology Surgeon today says I am not suitable for removal of prostrate as hip surgery too recent and risk of dislocation whilst in theatre and that also my bmi is too high … 35. Seems I would have to wait at least six months and get BMI to 30 before being reassessed. The hip dislocation seems to be the major worry.
Seeing Radiologist in a few days to hear their take. Advised by nurses this would likely be 3 to 6 mths of HR, then 20 days of radiology 5 x4 after that.
Given I seem to be in the earlier stages for which I am very grateful- and it is encapsulated - don’t want to give it another six months growing time, whether actively monitored or not. Especially as the six month minimum clock for surgery seems set in stone.
Tempted by the the radiology and as quick a start on hormones as possible. …
I realise many will be in much worse positions but I hope someone will give some feedback.
many thanks.
