Excellent Cancer treatment

"Excellent Cancer treatment"

About: University Hospital Hairmyres University Hospital Monklands / Medical Oncology (Ward 16)

(as the patient),

I was seen at Hairmyres breast clinic in May 2014 having noticed a lump. By the end of the day I had been given an ultrasound, mammogram and biopsy and the following week was scheduled for breast conserving surgery in early June.

Since my surgery I have been treated with chemotherapy and herceptin, radiotherapy and Tamoxifen.

The care throughout my treatment journey has been nothing short of exceptional. I am due to have my final herceptin treatment in the next month and I am eternally grateful to all staff involved in my care.
