Prostrate surgery waiting times?

Hi 

My partner has been diagnosed with a Gleason 8 prostrate cancer, he has had bone scans and it is contained. We feel lucky it is, but I’m worried sick as the surgery he has been offered seems to be “weeks” away according to the CNS. I was wondering how long people waited from the diagnosis to surgery? I’m based in England and I appreciate all areas may have different time lines but any help or advice or reassurance would be great. Thank you for any help

  • Hello Michaela69894,

    Welcome to Cancer Chat and I'm sure members will reach out to you.

    It can be difficult to determine how long the wait for surgery is, but we have information around surgery for prostate cancer and if you would like to speak a our cancer nurse team you can call 0808 800 4040. It's free to call and lines are open from 9 to 5 Monday to Friday. I hope this will help you feel more informed and prepared.
