I was 56 when first told my PSA reading was of concern. Following several blood test taken at three monthly intervals I was sent for an MRI scan and then biopsy. It was at this point I was referred to Mr Beatty to discuss my options one of which was radical nerve sparing prostatectomy - I had been diagnosed with prostate cancer. The MacMillan nurse who was one of many who spoke to me at the time said what a lovely man he is, she was full of confidence and praise for him. I had my operation November 2018 by way of DaVinci robot assisted keyhole surgery. Firstly from what I can see, feel and understand, what an incredible surgeon he is. He also comes across as a really nice person. At every stage he explained things in a calm, confident and balanced way. I can say, that no one could have put me more at ease, or have made me feel more confident about the outcomes than this expert in his field. Although amongst this positive vibe he was very clear as to the possibilities of the less hopefull outcome and effects. As per the previous writer my operation too went well. My post surgery, and recovery has been good, with minimal side effects. I will be for ever grateful for all Mr Beatty has done and the way in which he has carried it out. As well as for the state of the art equipment like the DaVinci robot. He also, despite being called to an unexpected emergency after my operation found time to call my wife to say how the operation had gone, and came to the ward to check my early recovery. If you are ever unfortunate enough to need to see a Consultant in urology/oncology you would be lucky if it was Mr Beatty. Thank you.
