Today is 6 weeks since LH's consultant appointment when he was told that his TURP should be in about 6 weeks.
Three weeks ago he had a phone call from radiology trying to make an appointment for his planning meeting. When he said that he was waiting for a TURP they seemed confused and could not find anything about it and they said they would 'speak to someone and phone back' They didn't . I was worried that e wasn't on the list so rang urology. He was on the list and a P2 priority which, of course, I looked up. Apparently it means that he should be treated within 4 weeks of being put on the list.
Yesterday I decided that enough was enough and, despite LH's protests and saying 'it won't do any good' I rang urology nurse. She gave me a number and name to ask for and, although the phone was answered by a receptionist who said he would pass a message on, I firmly but politely made it clear that this was not acceptable. I made it clear that I knew what P2 meant and that that this was delaying his radiotherapy.
Yesterday afternoon he received a call with a date of 15th March and by the end of the afternoon he had an appointment for his pre op assessment. LH thinks it was a coincidence; I think not
