Timings

Hi

With all the strikes occurring, they move appointments about, I never complain as usually mine are brought foreward. Nothing to worry about if they’ve mentioned surgery already, I suppose they want to run through the procedure plus are you still willing to have the surgery.

Stay safe

Thanks Joe, Yes, I think surgery is going to be the right way for me .. but I will have both appointments to see the options .. I was just worried that it seemed a long time from my biopsy to the Oncology appointment (5 months) and that something may happen in the meantime

I think May is ok Nick, I assume the stats are lowish and it's good that tumour contained.

If u knew tumour size and the fact that it was not on gland edge that would help put your mind at rest. The MRI report should tell you that

Thanks Grundo .. when you are laid in bed at night all sorts go through your mind !!!

Yes, I know that Def 

Good luck for May

We have been able to get appointments more quickly by letting each department know we are prepared to take short notice patient- cancelled appointments. I’m not sure but I think you don’t start hormone therapy before surgery? That stops the cancer growing and makes the prostate shrink in preparation for radiotherapy.
