I can't speak highly enough of the care and treatment I have received at Charing Cross Hospital. Diagnosed with breast cancer, at every stage I was given empathetic support, with time to ask questions and discuss options. Because I had a strong desire to avoid a mastectomy - which was probably indicated as I had two lumps - the alternative of a lumpectomy was discussed in detail. I decided to take that route, despite a risk that a second op might be necessary. I was in good hands - and very lucky - all cancer successfully removed.
I spoke with 2 surgeons, both were great. The surgeon who performed the operation has been very concerned to get the best aesthetic result, in addition to saving my life ...
and has given me full information and support at every stage. I think they have done a wonderful job.
Nurses and other staff were also fantastic - I would mention the Consultant Radiologist, two clinical nurse specialists, and the sister in the surgical area. Thank you NHS, thank you, Charing Cross.
"Breast cancer services and surgeon all superb"
