A few months after turning 26 years old, I was diagnosed with stage 2 breast cancer. After IVF and chemo treatment, I was fortunate enough to be operated on by Dr. Paul Therachelvam. I decided to go with a mastectomy with an implant breast reconstruction, as well as a LYMPHA surgery that could reduce my chances of getting lymphoedema in the future. During my cancer treatment, I was enormously impressed by the professionalism, empathy, and efficiency of the NHS, and Dr. Paul was no exception. He has not just saved my life together with Dr. Rizki and Dr. Williams, but made me look even better than before. After 9 hours of surgery, he made time to inform my partner re the progress of the surgery and over the following days he followed up with check ups on me. Regarding scarring, they appear to be very minimal, especially under the breast - looking like just a scratch. Overall, recovery felt pretty fast (even though I managed to get covid from my lovely family). Many thanks to Dr. Paul’s nurse Ola who brilliantly assists him and removed my drains a week after surgery. She has great knowledge, experience, and empathy! Throughout the process, I felt that I could fully trust Dr. Paul to represent my best interests during the surgery and do a top notch job :) Thank you very much and I can’t recommend you enough for anyone who is unfortunate to have cancer but fortunate to get to be operated on by you!
