I had a routine PSA blood test on 1st June 2017. The reading was 4.9. My GP opted to be very thorough and made me an appointment to see Mr Gujral at King George's hospital, Goodmayes. Although my count was not extremely high, Mr Gujral sent me for an MRI scan, which was done at Hartswood hospital, Brentwood. The scan showed some suspicious areas within my prostate. As a result of this, Mr Gujral performed a biopsy at Hartswood. The biopsy indicated that there were cancerous areas in the prostate. He then organised an appointment with a cancer specialist nurse. She spent over an hour going over all the options that Mr Gujral had explained after the biopsy. As a result of my discussions with both Mr Gujral and the cancer nurse, I felt sufficiently well informed to make my choice of treatment. My decision was to have surgery. I had to choose between robotic and open surgery. After further discussion with Mr Gujral I opted for the open surgery because he felt that he would be able to take greater care of the nerves. The day after the operation, Mr Gujral visited me and said that he had been able to save the nerves on the right hand side. After six weeks, I had a blood test which showed my PSA count to be zero. Not only was the count right down but also I was able to report that after the catheter was removed,I had no leakage or any other embarrassing incidents, often associated with the operation. I am now getting stronger as I recover from the operation. I have nothing but praise and gratitude for Mr Gujral, not only for his skill in the theatre, but also for the kind, efficient and professional way in which all our consultations were held. Thank you for all you have done for me.
