I have a long standing problem with extremely aggressive Basil Cell Carcinoma of the head and neck, which is not a common ailment. In 2016 the disease metastasised into my neck. At this point I was told that further surgery or radiotherapy was not possible. Prior to this, and because of the disease, I had to have skin grafts to my head. The Surgeon who performed that operation thought that further surgery might be possible and, because it was not his field, recommended me to Dr Tzafetta. Within two working days of examining me she performed a neck dissection of the left hand side of my neck and then obtained an opinion on whether radiotherapy was possible, which it was. However, nearing the completion of radiotherapy, it was discovered that the disease was also in the right side of my neck and the whole process had to be repeated. I now have regular check ups with Dr Tzafetta. I cannot praise Dr Tzafetta highly enough for the great skill and professional care she showed to me over a difficult period of nearly a year. Her positive attitude gave me confidence that all was going to be well and for this I will be ever grateful. Dr Tzafetta is well regarded by all who come in contact with her.
