What happens next?

I was diagnosed with neuroendocrine small cell metastatic prostate cancer February 23 after having major spinal surgery for spinal compression which is where the biopsy was taken. I have had 6 sessions of chemotherapy and 20 sessions of radiotherapy. My question is what can I expect to happen next?

  • Hello Richy1966

    I'm sorry to hear about your recent diagnosis and all that you've been through with surgery and treatment. What has your Consultant said about the next steps? Do you have another scan or appointment planned with a member of the team? 

    If you're unsure then do get in touch with your nurse specialist who will be able to clarify when you will next be seen by someone. 

    In the meantime, if you'd like to talk things through with one of our nurses you're welcome to call them on 0808 800 4040, Monday to Friday 9am to 5pm. 

    Best wishes,
