Question 2

Accepted Answer

Send a request through the website, or call or WhatsApp the clinic. The clinic team calls back within 3 hours to fix a time.

Question 3

Do I need a referral from another doctor?

Accepted Answer

No. You can book directly. If you have been advised treatment elsewhere and want a second view, bring your reports.

Question 4

What should I bring to my first consultation?

Accepted Answer

Bring all scan reports (CT, MRI, ultrasound, PET) and the images if you can, biopsy or operation reports, blood reports including PSA with dates, notes from your treating doctor, and a list of your medicines and allergies. Bring a family member if you wish.

Question 5

Can my family come with me?

Accepted Answer

Yes, and they are welcome to. A cancer diagnosis is easier to absorb together, and the questions of the whole family are part of the visit.

Question 6

What happens at the first consultation?

Accepted Answer

You and your family describe what has happened so far. Your reports are reviewed, your stage and the cancer are explained in plain language, every suitable treatment is discussed with its side effects, and you decide at your own pace what to do next.

Question 7

Can I get a second opinion for my cancer?

Accepted Answer

Yes. A second opinion is a normal part of cancer care. You can be seen at the clinic or by video consultation, and the decision about where to be treated stays with you. See the second opinion page for details.

Question 8

Are online consultations available?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Teleconsultation is available by prior appointment, for new second opinions as well as follow-up. Send your reports beforehand so they can be reviewed before you speak.

Question 9

My PSA is raised. Does that mean I have prostate cancer?

Accepted Answer

Not necessarily. PSA also rises with benign enlargement and infection. A raised PSA means further tests are needed, such as a repeat test and an MRI. See the raised PSA page for the usual steps.

Question 10

I saw blood in my urine once. Do I still need tests?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Blood in the urine should always be investigated, even if it was painless or happened only once, because bladder and kidney cancers can bleed on and off. See the blood in urine page for the tests involved.

Question 11

Which cancers do you treat?

Accepted Answer

Prostate, kidney, bladder, testicular and penile cancer, cancers of the ureter and kidney drainage channel, and tumours at the back of the abdomen (retroperitoneal tumours), including Robot-Assisted Surgery where suitable.

Question 12

Do I have to be treated by you after the consultation?

Accepted Answer

No. You are free to continue with your first doctor or to choose where to be treated. The consultation gives you the information to decide.

Question 13

Is my information kept private?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Your details and reports are kept confidential.

Question 14

Is there follow-up after treatment?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Cancer care continues after treatment with regular check-ups, blood tests and scans, planned for your type of cancer and stage.

Question 15

Does the clinic accept insurance?

Accepted Answer

Please ask the clinic team when you book, so that they can tell you what applies to your situation.
