"I am grateful every single day to them for saving my life"

Had diagnosis and treatment for renal cancer 3 years ago. The most terrifying experience of my life, but dealt with by an amazing team of people.

The radiographers were so kind, I had told them how terrified I was about my results, and they had rang my amazing GP with the results within a few hours who immediately rang me to put my mind at ease, she is what every patient deserves, but sadly doesn't get, what a Dr should be, and I thank God she was the first person I came into contact with during this harrowing experience.

The radiographers will never know how grateful I am to them for their consideration and kindness. The Consultant Mr Salanki, was so reassuring, professional and really considerate. The Nursing staff on the surgical ward, especially the pain control Nurse was, to use a term she will probably hate, an absolute angel ..there is nothing these wonderful, caring, brilliant people could have done to make a very traumatic and life changing experience any easier for me, and I will be forever grateful to them.

They are what the NHS should be, wonderful, professional, but above all caring and compassionate, and I will never be able to thank them enough. People have so many negative experiences when entering hospital, I can only be thankful that my own experience was dealt with in the manner it was.

I had counseling following treatment as I couldn't quite cope with what had happened to me, and again the consultant psychologist for oncology was just amazing, so supportive. My follow up treatment has been excellent, and my GP is always there for me when I need to talk, or need reassurance. I hope I never need hospital treatment again, but am thankful that when did I was dealt with by these incredibly wonderful people. I am grateful every single day to them for saving my life.
