The day arrived for my appointment to receive my biopsy results, so off I set with girlfriend Paula and catheter in tow ! to the Churchill Hospital, not knowing what to expect from the results of the test.
On arrival and booking in at reception I was shown into a room and my catheter was removed. I was then asked to go to another room where I was asked to pee into a contraption that measured the rate and amount of flow. I wouldn't of won any prizes at the fair if it had beeen a game LOl ! I was still at the stage where my flow was very weak.
Next I was shown into the Dr's room for the dreaded results ! You have a large hard craggy prostate said the Dr., visions of a Chineese hairy lychee shell came into mind Lol. You deffinately have prostate cancer I was informed.
Other Dr's came to see me and said that in their opinion I should have a Turps operation as soon as possible to improve my urine flow as I was retaining far too much in my bladder and it was dangerous for my kidneys. A Turps operation is where a laser is inserted in the one eyed 'monster' - or maybe not in my case lol , and a passage is burnt to the bladder to improve the flow. The treatment for the cancer would continue with Zoladex hormone injections every 3 months. I had never had an operation before in my life and left the hospital in fear of what was to come after being suited and booted with a new catheter!
