It was Mr Fryman's job to tell me in May 2019 that I had incurable prostate cancer. This was a shock for which I was quite unprepared and frankly he seemed to be too. Whilst I valued his honesty and candour, I would have appreciated a little more in the way of bedside manner. It didn't help that this was our first meeting because the biopsy had been done not by him but by the registrar. My case was not prioritised and I had been kept waiting over 5 weeks to get my diagnosis. I was fortunate to be able to transfer away from Sussex Hospitals to a different NHS trust where the care has been excellent and so far I seem to have been able to do rather better than Mr Fryman's prognosis indicated although I believe his assessment was quite correct at the time.
