Advice needed

Hello cancerwife62 

Welcome to the group although I am so sorry to find you joining us.

The normal pathway is - urology - oncology and then back to your GP to administer any Prescribed Medication such as Hormone Therapy. In my case my hospital sends a "shared agreement" to the GP asking him to deal with my regular HT injections. (My GP has put a copy of the "shared agreement" on my NHS App)

Does this answer your question, or is it something more specific?

Best wishes - Brian.

You say your hubby is diagnosed. What is the diagnosis?

The specialist nurse, that will be given to you, may be best route to find out what’s what.

The GP is not going to help with the cancer. They deal with the rest of the body.

This is a couples disease and you will be as affected as he is, as you’re about to find out.

Keep asking questions here, we can help.

There is a profile page (press the green button top left of this and all your pages) where you can store your history of PC diagnosis and treatments. It helps the forum to diagnose the issues you ask about.

We are not doctors! But we have been there and done that.

Take care

Welcome, but sorry you find yourselves here. I suspect Hospital v. GP a common problem. Certainly keep as much as possible in hands of specialists  -  GPs are unable to prescribe some of the more uncommon (read expensive) drugs. They even take it on themselves to alter the shared agreement (which mine doesn't even log on patient record) for the HT injection which they do (reluctantly) administer from indefinitely to for 12 months!

The key info is what treatment already had, what is ongoing.

Good luck, Dave.
