I am on day 31 of counting down, to my Radical Prostatectomy at Addenbrook’s / Cambridge University Hospital. I’m doing okay with everything, my Pre-Op Assessment is in a couple of weeks time. As is a trip to MacMillan’s Prostate Cancer Support Group, evening meeting. Then a few days later a Pre-Op, appointment with the Physio- Uro-Therapist. However, one question for those that have taken the surgical treatment journey, may I ask how much sick leave you where initially given? Was it enough, or did you need to extend it for the many reasons of side effects etc? I know as a patient, all our journeys, treatments and recovery differ, due to our age, health and diagnosis. I’m looking for a guesstimate of how soon I will bounce back to work. Guessing it’s a case of not too soon, not too late, but when it’s right. And obviously what we do for a living can reflect that time
