"The care and treatment I received was excellent"

About: Beatson West of Scotland Cancer Centre Royal Alexandra Hospital / Gynaecology (Ward 32)

(as a service user),

Was diagnosed with cervical cancer at the RAH hospital in Paisley, then transferred to the care of the Beatson hospital in Glasgow.

From the start of my journey until now, the care and treatment I received was excellent. As you can imagine, being told you have cancer is completely terrifying and overwhelming. Had it not been for the excellent work that all of the nursing staff provided me with, I do not think I would have tackled this diagnosis with such a positive attitude, they just seemed to get how I was feeling.

My clinical nurse at the RAH in Paisley was absolutely and still is brilliant at reassuring me, her name is Gillian, and the same should be said about my consultant at the Beatson Hospital, her name is Dr Kerr.

I cannot thank everyone enough with regards to the care and treatment I received. The staff are indeed angels and I will be forever grateful and thankful to them for all that they have done for me 😘

Dear The long and winding road,

I am so sorry to hear about your diagnosis and I am not surprised you felt overwhelmed.

However, thank you so much for spending the time to offer such lovely feedback.

I will be sure to share this with Gillian our specialist nurse - who will be pleased you found she was reassuring regarding your journey, and also with Dr Kerr at the Beatson.

The team will be delighted to hear that you are thankful to them for your care.

I wish you well in the journey ahead.

Kind regards,

Nikki Harvey

Interim Lead Nurse Gynaecology/ACS
