In July 2023 I was diagnosed with Prostate Cancer. The only option I was offered by the NHS was “Watchful Waiting”, and as my cancer developed, hormone treatment to slow the progress of my cancer. I asked my consultant if the roles were reversed would he be happy to accept my prognosis, he said no! He then referred me to Professor Prasanna Sooriakumaran (Professor PS) at the Cleveland Clinic London (CCL). I was reluctant to go to London as I live in Stratford upon Avon and the logistics of traveling to London, parking, hotel accommodation (The CCL offer some excellent packages to cover these areas) and the lack of available close support from family and friends, seemed somewhat daunting. However, in my meetings with Professor PS I became convinced he was the right choice to be my consultant. Professor PS was understanding of my concerns, outlined all my options in detail, and explained why a Radical Prostatectomy would be my best option. He took me through all the stages of the procedure from diagnosis to how my operation would be performed to recovery. Professor PS treated me with respect, understanding and kindness and I was conscious I was dealing with someone at the very top of their game. He was very honest with me explaining that my weight and size of my prostate would make the operation more complicated. I heeded his advice and lost two stone and generally ensured my fitness levels improved before the date of my operation. Fortunately, even with the complications of my weight and the extensive reconstructive surgery required, my radical prostatectomy was a complete success. My recovery has been nothing less than spectacular. The nursing staff at the Cleveland Clinic were excellent. After the surgery I had no pain and no discomfort. I was able to get up the day after my operation and walk about and went home two days later. After 3 weeks I had my catheter removed and was discharged from the CCL. Professor PS kept in touch with me during this period and made time to visit me just before I was discharged.

After a consultation and the various tests Professor Persad recommended the Rezum operation for my enlarged benign prostate. He clearly explained the procedure reassured me about what benefits I could expect. The surgery itself was very smooth and efficient and in recovery he was there to brief me on how it had gone. I needed a catheter for two weeks and I did find this more uncomfortable than I had expected, and the two weeks after it was removed weren’t much better, but suddenly after 5 weeks the improvements were almost instantaneous- with a flow rate just like I last experienced as a 20 year old, with no discomfort, as I now am able to completely empty my bladder when I need to. I would have no hesitation in recommending Professor Persad and the Rezum procedure.

I felt totally at ease with Mr. Cohen. He listened and we agreed a sensible plan that was appropriate to the situation. I would recommend Mr Cohen.

After suffering a year of severe urinary incontinence following a radical prostatectomy, I had a consultation with Dr Daniela Andrich. Taking her advice to undergo further surgery to fit an artificial urinary sphincter, I look back at the experience as life-changing. From initial consultation, through surgery, and post-op care, Dr Daniela and her team have been exemplary and the results are amazing. I could not recommend her more to another prospective patient. Thank you, Dr Daniela!
