Dr Shiroma De Silva-Minor

Written by a private patient at GenesisCare Oxford

Dr Shiroma De Silva Minor is an amazing oncologist who has been there for me every step of the way through my journey, throughout chemotherapy and radiotherapy. Shiroma arranged for me to have home health care at the start of the pandemic as she was concerned for my safety with my immune system being supressed and Covid. This care was the best thing for me to be safe. When ever I have needed Shiromas help with situations of chemotherapy not going right or issues of radiotherapy and infections she's has given me her time. I would highly recommend Shiroma as an oncologist as she so friendly and will always make you feel comfortable to be able to talk her about anything.

Dr De Silva Minor is extremely caring and had my best interests at heart throughout my treatment. Very attentive and discussed my treatment at length when first diagnosed. Dr De Silva Minor. My only negative comments is that dr De Silva Minor was always running late whether it be for an appointment or a phone call or a visit when I was hospitalised. She was always very apologetic and I understood that she had an immense workload and ensured a duty of care to all her patients. My only regret was having a portacath inserted instead of a central line. With extremely fragile veins due to chemotherapy/ TBI for leukaemia in 1988, blood had to be taken from veins rather than the portacath. Also only the nurses on the chemo ward knew how to use it so when admitted for secondary infection I had to be cannulated. A central line would have eliminated these issues. I had a picc line inserted originally however it was too uncomfortable to continue using it. Other than this I cannot fault the support and kindness Dr De Silva Minor gave. If I had to go through the treatment again I would certainly want dr De Silva Minor as my oncologist.

Due to the Corona pandemic I have only been able to have one face to face consultation with regular follow up phone consultations for which I find excellent. Dr De Silva explains everything very clearly and always ensure I have understood, giving plenty of opportunity to ask questions. I find her very calming and compassionate. I am very happy that I am in her care.

I was diagnosed with Breast Cancer at the beginning of the Coronavirus pandemic and was only able to have one face to face meeting with Dr. De-Silva Minor before lockdown restrictions forced further consultations to be conducted by telephone. Throughout my treatment Dr. De-Silva’s care has been exemplary. Her calm and reassuring voice a much needed lifeline during a difficult time. She has always been accessible, and happy to answer and explain any of my concerns. I feel lucky to have been referred to her.

Dr Desilva Minor is a really lovely doctor who listens to your concerns and explains things at a level that you will understand (and with increasing complexity to my husband who is more scientifically minded). She is really thorough and a person you can have complete confidence in whilst also feeling at ease. Lucky to have found her.
