I had to see this DR Vidya on the 11th of November at New Cross Hospital . She is a lovely person and has a infectious smile which made me feel relaxed.
Her colleague was very nice and they both gave me reassuring news after going through some investigations. I suffered with breast cancer in 2006 and was very poorly.
I am grateful for your time and questions to my answers that you showed compassion and empathy towards. It was a blessing to hear that everything was good.
Thank you Dr Vidya keep the work you do up, because without Doctors like you we would never know how to move forward.
I have seen Miss Vidya on numerous occasions.
I saw her recently after a worrying week .
She examined me , I had an ultrasound, all was well.
She is so understanding and helps me with my anxieties.
(What would I do without you Miss Vidya ? )
Gill the breast care nurse is fantastic too.
Dr Vidya's confident examination of my breast and her description of my condition helped to allay the concerns that I was feeling from my diagnosis.
Dr Vidya recommended that the breast lump be removed completely for a more in depth biopsy. Following the recommendation I was able to ask questions and was involved in the final decision to accept the surgery, rather than feeling that it was something that was "done to me " without consultation.
Dr Vidya saw me pre operatively allowing me to ask any questions that I may have and to advise me on the process from surgery to my out patient appointment. All questions were answered fully and no questions seemed too trivial for her. It is clear that as a woman in her field she prioritises how important the breast is to women and she is conscious to ensure that the post operative appearance of the affected breast is preserved or cosmetically pleasing, which is so important.
Fantatstic!
