Meeting Olga for the very first time in 2021 I was truly inspired by her knowledge and caring attitude. I was offered twice yearly scans and the opportunity to start a new drug after a clinical trial had come to an end. The scans were very reassuring to me as this was not offered on the NHS and I am forever hopeful the new drug has kept any future cancer away. She is a very dedicated and compassionate oncologist, who goes over and above - I needed to contact Olga when I was on holiday with a concern I had. After one email to her, I was given a date and time to see Olga on my return. Nothing is ever too much bother for her, and she always takes time to listen and discuss any concerns whether it’s through zoom, face-to-face or telephone. What a fantastic oncologist she is, my husband, family and I are forever grateful.

Olga gave me so much information about my cancer, the treatment plan, and statistics. There was no delay - the treatment started immediately, and she was always available to chat through my questions and concerns via e-mail, telephone, and facetime as well as face to face appointments in the Clinic. Olga asked questions about my family and suggested ways in which I could help my autistic son to understand Mum's 'medicine'. She told me I would get 'The Gold Standard' of treatment for my cancer and that is exactly what I am getting. I consider myself extremely lucky to have Olga as my Oncologist. My friends know her as, 'the 'Madonna' of Oncologists' because that is how I described her to them! Thank you, Olga! X

Following a delay in getting a cancer diagnosis and seeing an oncologist, I was put in touch with Dr Oikonomidou. She set up a meeting immediately (while she was on holiday) and got things moving quickly. She is professional, straight-talking and caring. I always feel that I can contact her with my concerns and that I will be listened to. She responds quickly to questions and explains things well. When I had side effects from the chemo, these were addressed immediately and my treatment regime adapted to make me as comfortable as possible. Throughout my treatment I have felt that I am treated as a person, as well as a patient. I have full confidence in her abilities and am grateful to be under her care.

Living through cancer treatment is tough but it is made much easier when you are treated with professional kindness and understanding. I have been treated by Dr Oikonomidou for almost 4 years and she is the same at every appointment – expert in her knowledge, warm and positive in her manner and honest in her assessments. She treats me with dignity and respects any questions or views I may have. I never feel rushed and have felt totally involved in the decision making. She has explained all steps of my treatment clearly. I have always understood the treatment route we have followed and what to look out for whilst I have been receiving treatment. I have felt supported every step of the way. I am able to contact her at any time if I have a problem and know that if anything was to change or worry me, I only have to reach out. I have utmost confidence in her and that also helps set my mind at rest. I know she has given me the best chance I can get and has ensured that I have been referred to get the most appropriate future preventative treatment. I am not left wondering (or worrying) about anything. I consider myself very lucky to be treated by Dr Oikonomidou as I feel I am being treated by the best in the field, and not only the best of doctors but the best of humans.
