Endometrial Cancer and Blackpool Victoria Hospital

About: Blackpool Victoria Hospital / Gynaecology

(as the patient),

I was diagnosed with endometrial cancer just under three years ago. They were the scariest days of my life. I'd never had any health issues and was low risk of endometrial cancer. The period between my tests and diagnosis wasn't brilliant, but after diagnosis the response from Blackpool Victoria hospital was fantastic. I had surgery after only 2 weeks and was home recovering 2 days after my hysterectomy.

I was looked after so well by my consultant Mr Yagoub who was brilliant.

I will always remember a wonderful nurse on the surgical unit, who looked after me on the morning of my surgery. Can't remember her name, but she visited me on the ward the day after. , Must add that the staff of Ward 15b were also great.

My after-care and follow up with my cancer nurse specialist Lorraine and now Debbie has been excellent. Thanks so much to all concerned!

Thank you for taking the time to leave feedback following your recent experiences at Blackpool Victoria Hospital.

I am so pleased to hear that your consultant, Mr Yagoub and the nursing staff looked after you so well following your diagnosis and you felt that you were treated with care and compassion through what was such a worrying time.

I will share your kind words with all the staff mentioned, I am sure they will be delighted with this positive feedback.

With best wishes for the future.
