Prostate cancer and ongoing problems!

Posted By Great care and support

"Prostate cancer and ongoing problems!"

About: Box Hill Hospital / Urology Eastern Health

(as the patient),

Diagnosed with prostate cancer in 2016 started seeing nurses and doctors at Box Hill. All staff were very caring right from the start making it easier to deal with the long road ahead. After my prostectomy more complications and ongoing surgeries for a stricture that wouldn't go away. Now after all the surgeries incontinence is the problem but surgery soon to fit AUS  (artificial urinary sphincter) will hopefully help that. Cancer has returned and plans for radiation treatment after surgery are in place.

Through all this and more to come I have had great care and support from everybody in Urology especially Linda and Pam. Appreciate everybody's assistance, at least I know I'm getting the best treatment thanks to all at Box Hill Hospital.
