  • Two years ago in April I was misdiagnosed by a nurse working way beyond he remit with stage 4 liver disease and informed i would need a liver transplant. Fast forward 18 months and I am diagnosed with Prostate cancer and given an admission date for Robotic prostatectomy. The week before my admission I am admitted from A&E with severe abdominal pain. An mri was interpreted as showing mild spenomegaly and dilated hepatic portal vein. I turned up for surgery as planned  but taking into account the suggested liver damage and suggested spenomegaly and dilated portal vein the surgeon cancelled the surgery until he could get clarification with regards the liver, splenomegaly and dilated hepatic portal vein. This clarification involved me seeing a hepatologist and took one month. The hepatologist stated my liver was fine and there were no reason for the surgery to be postponed.
  • In the 4 weeks between the cancelled op and the new date my psa has risen. How much i wasn't informed. 
  • My concern is that since the initial mri the cancer was found to have broken out of the capsule.and I am concerned that the unnecessary delay contributed to this.
  • This is probably just apprie p S.A. Ss wobble as my second test is due next week.
  • I seem very needy at the moment, and I don't like it.
