Here are my round about thoughts Wooders.
I have a little yellow notebook with details of my appointments. You're right to ask on here as looking now my questions look so trivial, some were never asked and some have never been answered.
Your questions will likely be framed around what he says. My consultant was very detailed and so it was my aim to emphasise I wanted surgery asap.
The comments below are some of the things you should end up knowing.
He should tell you where the lesion is located and how big it is. Mine was in the Apex all on one side, near the edge, which is away from the bladder. I had been concerned about spread to the bladder and got the impression being in the apex could give a clean extraction.
He didn't tell me it was 13mm diameter although the surgeon did at my pre-op interview. It was useful information as it seemed big if you assume your prostate is walnut size but reading about it, it isn't so bad.
If you ensure he tells you about the treatment options and what it means for your case. I was offered 3 treatments. When I mentioned Brachytherapy and trials he sort of laughed and ignored it.
To be honest I wanted it removed pronto so made it very clear I wanted surgery and asked the consultant if he could ring the surgeon right away. He said he would and actually he did, I think, as I got an appointment very quickly from the surgeon's secretary over the phone, at another hospital.
Some say it grows slowly so don't panic into a decision and hear both sides, surgery and onco. I didn't want RT or hormones. The op is in and out with a fast known outcome. RT and Hormones are long term treatments with long term answers.
Your preferences may be driven by your own preferences, what they offer and RT may be the best for you.
So all the best,
Peter
