Looked after well when diagnosed w/ cancer

I started to pass blood while I was on holiday, saw my doctor who check it wasn't an infect and they referred me to James Paget. James Paget referred me to Mr Mills to discuss treatment for prostate cancer. I was then given options to choose from - watch and wait and see what happens, have radiotherapy or have surgery. I really didn't know what to choose. My brother bought me to the Big C Support group and they have different rooms set up where you can talk to people who have already chosen their treatment options. So I went into the different rooms, spoke to everyone and came up with the decision to have it removed. I'd been diagnosed early and having it removed gives me the option to have radiotherapy if they don't manage to remove it all. I was looked after very well by the hospital but there just wasn't enough staff on the wards. Someone else on the ward near me started wandering around and I had to tell the nurse to see to him and leave me. I've also never got a discharge letter from them - I mentioned it to my consultant and he asked if I wanted him to follow up on it but I said it probably wasn't worth it now.
