So my Orchiectomy was 4 weeks ago and so far all I’ve been told is it was cancer, the Uro didn’t even really want to tell me that much. He spent 10 minutes apologising for not phoning me 7 weeks ago to tell me I needed the op as I had to phone them.
So he told me it was cancer and then said in the same breath, so I won’t see you again unless you have any problems with your scar goodbye. So I had to ask him what type of cancer, again didn’t want to tell me but he said it was a NSGCT and again tried to walk me to the door. Again I asked which one? again the hesitance, but looking like Pure EC they originally were thinking mixed germ cell but they decided on pure, same breath but because we've transferred you I don’t really want to say one way or the other the other hospital knows more about it than we do if I had my computer I could read what they’ve put but I don’t so I wont goodbye.
So he got me out of the room that time and walked away, I am now left with such minimal info it was pointless losing 2/3 hours of work over plus I’ve now been left stranded waiting to hopefully hear from another hospital but my original Uro is done with me.
Again it’s been 4 weeks so I’ve lived on the internet and I’ve found that the internet giveth and the internet taketh away! For every promising story there seems to be one that sounds like lots of chemo/surgery. Also I love my partner to bits but she’s getting overly worried when I’m trying not to be and then she starts getting me worried.
so my question again, should there be over 4 weeks from op to full pathology treatment plan?
