My unexpected experience

"My unexpected experience"

About: Telehealth Service - WACHS Great Southern

(as the patient),

I had two routine tests booked within one month of each other, the first test was for prostate and the second a colonoscopy.

The prostate proved to be cancerous and as though that wasn’t enough to deal with, the colonoscopy showed a bowel mass which was removed two weeks after the exam.

Luckily the mass was pre-cancerous in the bowel.

I am extremely grateful to my GP for organising the tests despite not having any symptoms as the outcome could have been a lot worse.

The care I have had so far has been first-rate with a dietitian, physio, doctors, nurses, reception staff and everybody else involved.

I am now waiting to have the prostate dealt with at FSH Perth.

Dear uniformce47,

Thank you for sharing your feedback on Care Opinion. Routine testing plays a crucial role in diagnosis and prevention, especially as many conditions can be asymptomatic in the early stages. I am pleased to learn that the care you’ve received has been first-rate.

The WA country health service works in partnership with local GP's and health professionals to ensure country communities receive the best possible health care. I would value learning more about your experience so that I can pass on your gratitude to the relevant people involved in your care. If you are happy to contact me please feel free to call me on 9892 2647.
