Tony had an ultra sound scan today and nothing untoward was found and he was told nothing to worry about.

big sigh of relief.

Well Had bloods booked for thursday as thought he had an appt start of august but had had no notification of it, Phoned Dr Ps secratary start of last week who said it was on the 4th aug so next week, still no notification in writing or text so yesterday decided to phone out patient dept, no record of appt so over an hour later and speaking to 3 different departments got through to secretary again, she said yes its on the 4th i said ok just wanted to make sure as i know he goes on holiday start of august every year (have been seeing him for over 15 years an he goes to mallorca to see his family then cause that is where he is from) she checked and said yes he is not there on 4thbut Tony could see someone else, said he would rather not and now he will see Dr P on the 25th august, much longer wait but would rather speak to someone who knows his complete history and Tony rather than someone who would likely skim through it.

sorry for long post.

So frustrating isn’t it Barbara, as I posted on my own thread. I’ve been messed about Soooo much over the last months with zero commitment to appointments when it’s a serious disease. At one point I actually said to the receptionist ‘ is this conversation being recorded ‘ and she said yes. “ In that case be fully aware I’ll be asking my wife to prepare and inject me with my hormone therapy if you can’t give me an appointment with 3 weeks notice “.
And they called with an appt next morning. Covid is a serious case indeed but it’s becoming a reason for sloppy service in my opinion!
Good luck and wishes

It is really annoying, more so because if i know that Dr has the same 2 weeks holiday every year surely they must know as well, still we would rather wait the extra weeks than speak to a Dr that does not know Tony and his history.

Tony has his appt on Wednesday, really nervous as usual, he seems to have a lot more aches and pains since the last appt but we will wait to see what his results are, Tony as usual just takes it all in his stride. Hopefully the tablets are still working, I have everything crossed.

Tony's appt went well, his psa had gone down very slightly to 7.2 from 7.7 not much change but still down so will carry on with the treatment he is on, big sigh of relief.

Well after the good news Tony fell down the stairs backwards wednesday evening, waited 5 hours for ambulance as he was in so much pain he was laid on his side in the hallway all that time, he is now in queens medical centre nottingham in the trauma ward laid flat on his back with a brace on his neck, 2 or 3 fractures to the spine and broken ribs, He can have 3 visits a week by 1 person so i am seeing him tomorow and will then try to get there 3 times next week, long trip from skegness and i dont drive. They have said he will be in there at least a week Tony thinks longer. luckily he seems to have ful movement in his legs etc, he should have had dialysis today but looks like he will be getting that tomorow.

life is a b****

Thank you but it looks like he has got to have an operation, he should have had dialysis today and it has not happened, they have said it should be tomorow or sunday so fingers crossed, i am meant to be seeing him tomorow but if he has op tomorow cant see that happening, on the plus side they have now put a morphine drip in that he can press every 5 minutes and when i spoke to him last he was much more co herant and had spoken to the dr and felt better about things. he has been nil by mouth since wednesday night as well.
