I am a man with Breast cancer. After first class and very rapid surgery at NHS Borders, I was referred to Olga due to her specialist knowledge of breast cancer treatment, and in particular her knowledge of, and experience with, a progressive new 'post treatment' drug, not currently available on the NHS. Olga organised a package of Chemo, radiotherapy and follow on hormone therapy for me, tailored to my medical needs and my wellbeing. Olga is extremely approachable and a good listener. She totally understands the issues involved and immediately personalises her thoughts, questions and treatment and makes the patient feel very comfortable and reassured. Nothing is too much trouble for Olga. Olga exudes confidence, experience and professionalism, and has a very calm manner which at a time of personal concern and worry is extremely reassuring. Her detailed knowledge is clearly enormous, and I have to say that everything she has said has been correct, and everything has worked and happened as she said it would. I have total trust in Olga. Having confidence in someone who is looking after you at a worrying time is extremely reassuring. I don't think one could wish to be looked after and treated by anyone more expert, professional or caring, and all with a '5 star' personal touch.
