Mr Paul Thiruchelvam 2023-01-25 Person 5 5 0

I was originally diagnosed with breast cancer through regular screening at Imperial College Health Trust. I met Mr Thiruchelvam at Charing Cross and he told me I had a Grade 1 cancer that needed to be surgically removed and that the prognosis was good. I asked him if I could be referred to a private clinic and he offered to take me on as a patient at King Edward VII's hospital close to where I live. From the outset I felt very confident with Mr Thiruchelvam as he explained everything very clearly and was extremely thorough. I had an MRI which picked up something he did not like so he sent me for a full body PET scan. Luckily that was all clear. I then had a biopsy of one lymph node which again was clear. Now I was ready for the surgery. The surgery turned out much better that I had anticipated. There is virtually no change in my breast as a result of the incredibly skilled work of Mr Thiruchelvam and no pain as a result of his referring me to Dr Matt Brown for pre-surgical advice and medication. I am now waiting for the next stage of my journey - radiotherapy and ongoing medication. I feel extremely confident that I have had the best treatment I could possibly have had. Mr Thiruchelvam is not only a highly skilled surgeon he really understands what his patients want and listens to their needs and concerns.
