"Treatment for skin cancer"

About: Royal Cornwall Hospital (Treliske) / Dermatology

(as a service user),

After my GP unaccountably told me to come back in a month when I showed him what turned out to be a squamous cell cancer ("nothing to worry about") I got referred to the local NHS Hospital at Treliske in Cornwall. By the then the lesion was quite large. They quickly set up a surgical excision which went really well and two weeks later the cancer has gone, though I will need some radiotherapy to reduce the risk of reocurrence. All the staff in dermatology were great, the surgeon was brilliant, they were swift, efficient and effective. I couldn't fault the treatment and I am amazed they can achieve this at a difficult time for the NHS.

Hello Ivan, thank you for taking the time to send us feedback from your recent visit within the Dermatology Unit RCH. I am glad that it was positive and the cancer has gone. We are always aiming to improve our services and feedback is an important part of this. I have passed on your comments to the dermatology staff. I wish you all the best for your future radiotherapy treatment.
