It was decided by the clinical team that Radio Therapy was the best option for my Prostate Cancer with the best chance for the best outcome for me. I saw Tracey who is the consultant radiologist prior to starting my treatment. She ran me through my course of treatment and all the possible side effects and that they were aiming for a cure, but with no guarentees. I was reassured by her knowledge and her professional manner. All through the treatment, which was an arduous 7 weeks 5 days a week at the Rosemere Cancer centre at Preston Hospital, I was able if need be able to contact her or the Nurse specialist Andrew Hunnweth. I only needed to contact them on two occasions and although I had to leave a message both times, I was called back within a few hours. On both occasions they were able to put my mind at rest. Now my treatment has ended I had an appointment with Tracey within 6 weeks to review the treatment and my ongoing care. I had a blood test prior to my appointment which showed my PSA level has fallen from 7.5 prior to treatment to 0.24. They will keep monitoring this for the next two years. All remains to be said is that I have not been let down by the health professionals I have come in contact with.
