How long was your wait for surgery?

Hi Dogs4me,

I was initially told my wait would be 2-3 months, but to my surprise 2 weeks later I got a call to say “your appointment is 7th July” - less than 2 weeks away!

Diagnosis was early March, so it will be roughly 4 months from diagnosis to surgery.

I am happy to not have a long wait, so I’ve been doing my pelvic floor exercises as often as possible. 

I will write up how it goes. 

Thank you Beard

just trying to get a feel for the wait time asI think my LH will want to go for surgery if he gets the option. However I am worried about the cancer getting worse in the meantime. He has a 37mm lesion which looks as though it is right up against the prostate capsule. His biopsy is on 15th July so don't know Gleason score yet but his PSA was 57.

good luck for 7th. I really hope it goes well for you

My Surgeon said that during Covid there were no operations and that when they looked at the stats there was no difference in patient outcomes for PC. 

I saw the surgeon this friday 27th june and was told  8-10 wks

Oh that's interesting. Thank you

Thank you. Good luck! 

Diagnosed mid May . Op on 12th August last year 

Thank you ️ 

I had an extra wait as my paperwork was misfiled over Christmas and had to chase in January. But once I said yes to surgery, I signed the paperwork straight away and was told 8-9 weeks. A couple of weeks later I got a message that it was scheduled for 4th March. So in the end about 4 1/2 weeks. From signature to surgery 

Thank you ️
