We are finally seeing an oncologist tomorrow to discuss a treatment plan after 122 days waiting. Don’t know whether to cry, scream or be subdued .My OH has been changing a door just to keep busy with me being the labourer.  We just hope for some positive news with a plab which my OH feels is right for him . Hopefully I get a sleep after this as have seen most hours in the clock for weeks .

  • Awe thank you Gail. We’ve been pretty stressed for months now waiting to speak to a doctor . We saw the specialist nurse i5th June but he gave us the wrong  information was offered surgery or HT on a curative pathway . Then he called to tell us no surgery and probably no radiotherapy but no mention if curative just kept saying it’s not terminals . So although we’re needing this tomorrow pretty stressed wondering what the oncologist will tell us . Will update once we get  our heads round it xxx

  • Hi there

    Good luck for tomorrow, I hope all goes as well as it can and I’m still appalled at the length of time you have waited to see a consultant. What a time you’ve had. 

    let us know how you go

    I hope all goes well later - like you it's been some journey waiting for this appointment - and it's not even mine - it's yours!!

    Fingers and toes crossed.

    Best wishes - Brian.

  • Awe Linda   Absolutely bricking it tbh . We’ve been out in the garden all morning just trying to keep busy . Thank you for caring xx

  • I went through the lot with the wife in bits for the wait, Mine is treatable not curable, first Chemo today part of triple therapy I am on, that wait seems long I  wonder if its that awful postcode lottery, my high PSA was picked up on the 13th April and I kept ringing for cancellation for scans etc and as I say today was first of 6 chemo appointments, far more people knowledgeable on here but if he was offered  surgery at first hopefully it has not spread, mine has but I am now on the mindset of not stressing about it to much as it isn't going to change anything, good luck you will fell loads better when you have a plan.
