PSA up and down results after HT ends

Hi Ray,

Very pleased to see from your Bio that your July 2015 PSA test has dropped to 0.712 to continue the falls after rises sequence. Great news.

Fortunately, I haven't had many SM so far as these can be embarrassing if on occasion amusing.

Thank you for your good wishes re my HIFU treatment scheduled for 28th July. I have just received an email with an attachment detailing tests I should have done by my GP for a pre op assessment as this saves me having to travel to UCLH. I have been waiting for this information since 3rd July even though I have chased for it 3 times. It now means the tests have to be done at short notice, analysed and faxed to UCLH by 20th July for themto process, making everybody else jump through hoops. To cap it all, the email to me is addressed to a different name and the sender cannot claim a SM! This continues a saga of very poor administration. It's just as well that clinically UCLH are much better because if they were on a par with their Admin staff they would have a lot of dead bodies to deal with.

Hi Barry,

That has been my experience, too! So much so that I made a formal complaint about its chaotic admin which was acknowledged. I was informed that they are in the process of improving it. We'll see!

My best wishes for your HIFU. Will it be done by Prof M E himself?

 

Regards,

Jacey
