Cambridge Urology clinic Addenbrookes

I was recently (May 2019) diagnosed with prostate cancer and the severity level was such that I was offered Two options:-

1. Radiotherapy at my local hospital.
2. Radical robot assisted prostatectomy at Addenbrookes.

I am really glad I chose the prostatectomy option even though I’m sure radiotherapy would have been successful, it just wasn’t for me.

Recovery was fast, I was walking reasonable distances daily, on one occasion, 10 miles after 4 weeks. The post op instructions / medication provided was well organized and effective.

I would like to say a massive Thank you to Nimish Shah my surgeon and the whole nursing team at Addenbrookes. They have inspired confidence from the very first moment we met the staff in the Urology department, seeming to have the right levels of empathy, kindness and understanding, not to mention expertise.
Fortunately, my recovery has been excellent, better than I dared hope prior to the operation, nurse specialist Lisa Geoghegan has been particularly supportive and understanding.

So grateful these people were there for me, carry on doing this fantastic work and thanks again.
