Hi Mouse
Sorry to hear the sad news about your partner .Your story seems identical to mine .I was diagnosed with Pc in the End of October 2024 ,Gleason 8 and T3a ,I had a couple of scans to determine that the cancer had not spread.These were done within 1 week of diagnosis and results took 2 weeks.Once it was determined that surgery was an option for me I informed the Senior Urology Nurse that I wanted to opt for Surgery .We met the surgeon on 12th December and I had the surgery on the 25th January.During my meeting with the surgeon I did say that if he had a cancellation I was willing to step in at short notice.Like you I was concerned about the waiting time.Unfortunately I did not get a cancellation,However two of the other patients on my ward in Hospital were pulled forward 2 weeks so it does happen.I would suggest that your partner makes it known that he would step in at short notice ,because it clearly does happen.I have my 6 weeks review with surgeon on Monday ,so I have got my 🤞 fingers crossed for positive news.I know exactly how you both feel .What I tried to do was focus on the things I could control ,use the time up to surgery getting mentally and physically prepared .
The surgery is generally very straightforward,I had Robot assisted , excellent recovery time ,minimal pain .Good luck to you both ,if you want any additional information feel free to message me .
