In January 2015 I experienced a fairly large show of blood in my urine. I sought the advice of my GP which led to his referral , at my request, to Mr Michael Swinn, a leading Consultant Urelogical Surgeon at my local hospital (East Surrey) and at Spire Gatwick. A resulting series of tests arranged by Mr Swinn detected high grade bladder cancer which led to my inclusion in the then ongoing programme of BCG Chemo instillations at The East Surrey. Though the full prescribed treatment programme was completed the overall outcome was deemed as less than satisfactory and raised the probability of a need for radical surgery-a process I was very anxious to avoid. Michael Swinn took my concerns fully on board and was successful in arranging my inclusion in an alternative therapy then being trialled at St. Georges Hospital Tooting (“HYperthemic Mitomycin) This proved successful and since late 2015 my bladder, which has continued to be regularly monitored by Michael Swinn and has remained free of CIS. The question, therefore “Did I get great care from Michael Swiinn and did he listen? can very clearly be answered with a resounding “Yes, Yes”!
