  • Hello  

    Your treatment (or lack of it) by the NHS is shabby to say the least.

    I think your next action is to call and see PALS (Patient Advisory and Liaison Service) at your hospital. Tell them the full story, your previous cancer, this cancer and how it's gone from a Gleason 6 to a 7. Tell them you have anxiety and you need a face to face appointment with a Consultant.

    If they can't or won't help you then the next step is a formal Complaint to your hospital NHS Trust.

    Do let us know how you get on.

    Best wishes - Brian.
