Here at home after prostate cancer treatment, I feel great and the NHS at the end of the beginning of excellence at the highest level.
The whole thing is how do I get started? Retired and sailing, and Golf was leading an active lifestyle is 73 years old., of course, many men like I almost never visit a doctor. You can also play golf and friends say something like "I see it a bit to get my cholesterol level is high, just like you" would come out of my stock answer will not go to the doctor won't. that was a long period of time until some local pharmacy I had diarrhea which tablets would not sell it, but instead, my doctor advised me to see. Dr. diarrhea stops some tablets and my symptoms to me for treatment but also an array for blood tests. When the results came back, it's all good my PSA level was a little high 5.5, except I was told to.
Promised Urology was see Canterbury hospital prostate and flow test of a routine check. After this he came back the next day biopsy tissue 12 small sample taken from the prostate where prepared me. This camera range and local employment and back passage back to the probe is performed is a simple procedure.
The next step is to biopsy the study description Canterbury hospital consultant. There is one of the core read Gleason Adencarcinoma show of the prostate show 4 + 3 = 7. I then Canterbury hospital can do in a regular or laparoscopic surgery, London Kings hospital can undertake two surgery option description who the surgeon was referring to. He is also there, such as external and internal radiation other options explained.
I immediately if at all possible to avoid surgery and all other preferred treatment and is implanted directly into the prostate is radio active seed with a number of internal radiation is especially would like to take a look at brachytherapy. This procedure had recently been treated for his prostate cancer, and this is for me, the same age for had heard from a friend of mine.
Surgeon disease had spread outside of the prostate or were limited to determine whether the MRI scan was then Canterbury Hospital Oncology Department called me. Fortunately for me it was discovered that limited. The appropriate candidate for brachytherapy, in their PCT for funding was agreed to request the Canterbury saw Dr. Thomas in 2010-11-09.
In early January or January 26, Pre-assessment for Maidstone hospital to attend I received a letter consultation. Everything went smoothly, and March 2, Maidstone hospital attending again mapping. This is a catheter filled with liquid, the urethra is displayed, and explore and exactly where radioactive seeds will be inserted in the camera map anal probes are inserted, and then includes the putting. These stay active for gradually decreasing output in the year.
Three weeks later on 24 February 57 radio active seed injection performed under general anesthesia had a separate injection through 19. Infection and prostate with urine after this procedure is somewhat in order to provide a wealth of other tablets, antibiotics to prevent. Feel good now and implants following did not have any side effects.
Brachytherapy is a non-invasive and disease provides prostate cancer is the ideal treatment for and limited to the body's not spread to other areas will also not too aggressive. Surgery is generally very successful sometimes, you may experience sexual dysfunction problems is something Brachythereapy and does not have to worry about.
Poor treatment and services in the hands of the NHS so many terrible stories I've read but in my case nothing but compliments all concerned my local GP Dr. Kitchener, urology, Oncology, consultant, radiation, nurses and other staff. I'm in treatment and services. He implants their, do cancer cells will be killed and I look forward to more happiness, you can see.
The moral of the story, these problems if you catch early there is usually a treatment so all men over the age of 50 on a regular basis, you need to get the test to offer. It is a simple blood test, and believe that a year or so will be more accurate than the current PSA and other test procedures.
What is your sex life our bloghere, you can continue to enjoy.
