3 weeks later I had a prostatectomy for the removal of my prostate at UCLH Westmorland Street. The size and positioning of the tumour meant the procedure wasn’t straightforward.
This meant more time in hospital and more time under the care of their brilliant doctors, nurses and other staff.
Whilst I was in hospital and each time I’ve gone back, strangely, I feel like I’m going into a place of worship, I have that much gratitude and reverence towards the staff.
I’ve so much wanted to give something back, but volunteer roles understandably tend to be working for the benefit of patients not staff.
