Surgi-bot
Mr Vasdev, Quent's surgeon, has just called to confirm that the operation went well. It was robotic surgery, but the human still makes the post op call, it seems! Mr Vasdev and his robot managed to remove all the prostate even though it was "quite stuck down". It took an hour just to sort the scar tissue, apparently.
Interestingly, Mr Vasdev said he thought we'd made the right decision as he didn't think that radiotherapy would have dealt with it long term (ie. the cancer would have returned). For those who know about these things, he was able to do a nerve spare (relatively new technique) on the right hand side, but not the left, where the tumour was. That's great news and as much as we could have hoped for.
Mr Vasdev said Quent will be in hospital until Saturday or Sunday. I know what that means; Quent will now start a relentless campaign to get out on Saturday. He knows every trick in the Escaping From Hospital book - and could give Charles Sobhraj a run for his money (or his jewels!).

Great news. Now you have the task of keeping him inactive during recuperation. Good luck with that. It will make the surgery look like the easy bit.
Wonderful news, we're all very happy to hear the op went well! :-)
Wishing you a speedy recovery. Lots of love & hugs from all of us!!

Yippee. Wonderful news and yes I can imagine Quent will try every trick in the book to get back to you and Oakley but that is quite understandable. All those positive vibes trained on the Lister by everyone obviously paid off. Let’s hope his recovery is quick. Sending lots of love . Sally, Andy & Jamie ��
Great outcome and yes good luck with keeping him under control during recovery!! 💕👏
Delighted to hear that all went well - the best birthday present! x
Thats great news! Good luck with keeping him in hospital. Please
pass on my regards Steve M
Wonderful news and fingers crossed for recovery at the best too.
Hospitals are amazing places but staying in them is not where you want to be.
Hopefully, all is well and fingers crossed for the future, when you are well and if you want some travel come up and visit the far north, keep well and safe all of you.
Such good news! Well done for persevering. So pleased. Jenny & Tim x
Fantastic news, such a huge relief. Sending massive 'get well soon at a sensible pace' wishes!! ;) loads of love ❤ Helen and Will xxx

SUCH GOOD NEWS LOVE YOU (Georgina here!)
Phew - many thanks for the update. It sounds like some of his birthday wishes are coming true (though I'm sure the bevy of nurses was not on that list. Probably). I hope Helen that you are going to enjoy the refreshing strong drink that Quentin will be denied! Best wishes from us all B, J & M xx
Love from Scotland 🏴 and a pin thru the Serpents tail normally works to keep them in place but don’t recommend that course of action on Quent 🥰
That's great news helen that he is safely through the surgery - what a way to spend your b'day!!!!
Hugs and hope you have a speedy recovery.

Very Happy to hear that Helen and Quent........
It’s not like you could have had a mad night out and/or glittering social life this January anyways. Home by the weekend is outings enough. Keep going. Clare x
Great news! I’m sure he’ll be making something in the garage by tea time on Saturday. xxx
So pleased that everything went as well as hoped! Love from us all xx
Absolutely amazing 👏 news. So pleased all has gone as well as hoped for. Sending more love and positive energy your way to make a speedy recovery. I know you have a large circle of support, but let me/us know if you need anything, in a socially distanced way ofcourse!!! Clare, Chris Esme and Lukie xxxx
