Re: Biochemical recurrence/PSA/penile implant

Hi Paul,
The term Consultant Clinical Oncologist is not used here in Australia, albeit that our health care delivery systems model that of the UK. Medical/Radiation Oncology are two distinct medical specialities here in Australia. Given the complexity of training for each speciality I think it unlikely, but not impossible, that Royal College Fellowship credentials would be jointly held. If you care to give me a name of your Prof and Teaching Hospital, I will look up their training and let you know.

Hi John

Firstly my apologies for assuming that you are US-based. I made the assumption based on the "medical" versus "radiation" oncologist terms you used. I didn't realise that Australia uses these role descriptions too.

I'm happy to provide the details of my Prof however I'm not comfortable publishing them in open forum. I couldn't find an email or email link for you. If you provide me with one (or drop me an email) I'll ping the details straight over.

Thanks again for your interest in my story.

Best regards,

Paul

Re: Biochemical recurrence/PSA/penile implant

Yes we do Paul very much based on the UK model seeing as we are still a member of the Commonwealth with the Queen as our Head of State. If you would care to just give me the name of the teaching hospital, that you attend, and I can work it out from there.

Hi John

It's the Macmillan Cancer Centre at University College London Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust. Hope this helps?

Best regards,

Paul

Re: Biochemical recurrence/PSA/penile implant

Well Paul,
You learn something new ever day and you are indeed correct. UK clinical oncology speciality, is indeed a combination of radiation and medical. Five years of post grad training is a pretty heavy load. So you are in very good hands it would seem.
