Hi I'm John recently diagnosed with prostate cancer, really need some help to answer some questions about what I do and how long it takes to get my prostate removal op date ? It's been nearly 3 week since telling surgeons I want the op but nothing since
Hi Blue boy, sorry you have been diagnosed with pc. The waiting time for an operation will depend on where you are in the country but I would expect you to get notification of a date fairly soon. Have you got a specialist nurse number to phone at your hospital?
Either phone the nurse or contact your urologist secretary for an update. I waited around 7-8 weeks for my surgery on 2015.
Hope you get a date soon, all the best,
