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,

  • Hi ido4 thanks for the reply, I will wait alittle longer, I know the hospitals are busy, I didn't have a full meeting maybe that's why I don't seem to have any numbers for a nurse or a contact, thanks again
