Husband newly diagnosed with prostrate cancer ,
we were surprised to be given our first appointment as a telephone appointment rather than a face to face , and even more surprised when the consultant rang from New York , we were given to options of treatments and given a time period of two weeks to make our decisions , same consultant then phoned again , this time from India , given that this is a stressful time we just feel the pastoral care a bit lacking
just wondering when we will actually get to see someone before my husband has the brachytherapy , also we are unable to find this consultant on the gmc list although are not disputing that he is a consultant , as the letters are coming from our local hospital and are digitally signed , we are in the south west , has anyone else experienced anything else like this
