Having known Dr De Silva-Minor since 2016, when I was first diagnosed with primary breast cancer, I would unreservedly recommend this excellent oncologist to anyone in need. During my time with her I was given the best treatment available on the NHS. It was indeed, as my own GP said, ‘second to none.’ I have always had complete confidence in her professional expertise because I feel she practises the best type of patient care (she is the only oncologist who examines me during every consultation). Having been deemed in 2016 as being at an extremely high risk of the cancer recurring, I am convinced that both her advice regarding lifestyle and exercise, together with her very kindly agreeing to the ongoing monitoring of my situation, gave me confidence and peace of mind; it also gave me valuable years in which treatments enabling patients to live with secondary breast cancer became available. Dr De Silva-Minor’s manner is always positive, friendly, and reassuring. During the past year, since recurrence of the cancer in 2022, she has gone out of her way to give me help and much-needed guidance both within the NHS and through private consultation; this is even though, regretfully, her practice is not now in the area I live in.
