From biopsy then on to surgery the treatment I received was absolutely fantastic. From the consultant who did the biopsy to the surgeon who operated, and the angels (nurses) who all made me feel like a princess, I felt completely safe and comfortable in their care.
The theatre nurse held my hand tightly throughout, and I didn't even get chance to thank her and apologise for making her hand numb!
What an amazing team - a week after removal of stitches I am now discharged, which is very disappointing as I didn't want to say goodbye to these wonderful, caring people.
Am 75 and this was my first experience of surgery so I was really scared, but the team reassured me there was nothing to fear and because of them they were right.
Whatever they pay these super special people, it isn't enough! I hope you will pass on my thanks to Dr Cheung and the team.
Warmest regards.
