A very rushed doctor with a shocking bedside manner. This doctor gave my wife 3 months to live in a very matter of fact way. This was 2.5 years ago, and since then we have moved to a different hospital who were able to offer the same standard of chemotherapy and radiotherapy available across England on the NHS. Our current hospital has a supportive environment with a supportive cancer doctor who has the ability to speak to my wife & I and explain the current position and provide answers to our questions without becoming flustered and impatient, and who isn’t keen to write my wife off and quickly move through his clinic as if it is a tick in a box exercise. Dr Polychronis had no time for my wife with stage IV bowel cancer. If we hadn’t of seen our GP for a second opinion referral then my lovely wife would likely not be here today enjoying life. In the last 18 months my wife and I have become great grandparents, we have had wonderful holidays in between blocks of chemotherapy and have an amazing life together. Forget statistics and blanket timescales, people with cancer are individuals and should be treated as individuals.
