I had a very good follow up to my MRI scan. Dr. Helen Hatcher took time to explain my diagnosis and made sure I was clear with it all.

Helen has been a wonderful doctor, from the very beginning I felt comfortable, taken care of, and like I could completely put my trust in her. I felt she cared and would do everything she could to help me. She made an overwhelming experience manageable, I felt, and continue to feel, supported. To this day I wouldn't want my care to come from anyone else. For me, there is nothing Dr. Hatcher could improve upon.

Dr Helen Hatcher is a professional, kind & empathetic doctor who.I totally trust and who I have been very lucky to under the care of. She is understanding and perceptive and will take the time to carefully listen to me. I have never felt her care to be anything but exceptional. Helen is proactive, efficient and thorough. When I mention an issue to her, however, minor or trivial I think it is, she will always take it seriously and give me advice or refer me to the relevant clinic or services. Throughout my treatment and in the years subsequent, Helen's dedication and care to my best interests and physical and emotional welfare have never ceased. I totally trust Helen and respect her medical opinions and her advice. She is always honest and realistic. She really cares about her patients and giving them the best possible care. She enables me to feel much more in control of my own health and managing my symptoms. After my appointments with Helen, I always feel much more reassured. I am so very grateful to Helen for making a difficult time much more bearable and feel more in my control. She really cares about you as the whole person and not just the patient. She is encouraging and will always do whatever she can to help you. I feel very lucky to have been looked after by Helen and the TYA/Sarcoma team.

My friend has just been given a diagnosis of terminal cancer, sarcoma initially, now metastases in the liver, due to language barriers and also to support her I have attended most of her appointments. I'm an health professional and I have to say that meeting Dr H Hatcher has been a true blessing... Dr Hatcher spent 2h30m talking with her patient and making her aware of her diagnosis and treatment options, her kindness, calm demeanour, professional but human attitude towards my friend has made me think how proud I am to work for the NHS and I feel so grateful that people like Dr Helen exist. We left Addenbrookes Hospital feeling sad but blessed that my friend's care is in the hands of such an amazing person. At any stage of the consultation the patient felt pressured to leave or to refrain from asking questions, it was quite the opposite, Dr Hatcher asked her variour times directly how she was feeling and what she was thinking, giving her the opportunity to be clarified in every single aspect of her diagnosis and further management. We are so thankful to Dr Hatcher.
