Good to hear.   On GP referral, 15 months after my op I was told I was stable and could go to my GP or keep coming to the hosp.    I asked for a phone appointment with anyone sensible  or a hosp appt as I didn't want to be discharged.  Not being discharged seemed quite important to me as I thought Icould get back faster if needed.

One other factor is that my GP and that hospital can't see each others data on line.

 I later got a letter offering a phone appointment with a sister. I'm only interested in my psa level.
