Bryce was only 56 when he went to our local Doctor for a lingering respiratory tract infection. The doctor did a basic blood test, just a full blood count, to see that everything was normal. Then he scheduled a followup visit to discuss the results of the test the following week. "Everything's normal and within normal limits except your PSA". So Bryce came home and reported the news. He was being referred to a urologist who would do further investigations. The appointment was for a few weeks time. we waited, and soon that time came about. We both went to meet the urologist, a local man in our area. We met. He investigated. He calmly (but a very detached manner) stated you have Prostate Cancer. He told Bryce his options. We left the surgery and went to chat over a coffee. We both agreed we didn't bond with this man and if he was going to be the man responsible for healing Bryce, then we didn't want him. We'd look elsewhere. We went about enquiring about "who's good" and heard the name Henry Woo several times. So we organised a referral to him and within a few weeks we were sitting in his waiting room. Everything felt more positive once we met Henry. He gave us great hope. He had a lovely bedside manner. So the next step was a biopsy. That was booked for a few weeks' time.
