Clare Rees met us with our 3-year-old son in May 2015. She was very thorough in her assessment and helped us to get a (working) diagnosis very quickly. Clare took the time to talk to us and explain every step of the way, as well as taking time to engage our son- taking an interest in the books he was reading. Within 2 days, Clare had to break the news to us that it was likely that our son had neuroblastoma. She gave us just the right amount of information about what was likely to happen next. We are now out the other side of treatment and our son has started in reception and is doing well (he still loves stories). I had promised that I would send Clare an update sometime (it has taken a while!) Having met other families and heard how long diagnosis can sometimes take, we are very grateful for the way we were treated by Clare and her team. We feel very lucky to have encountered someone with her knowledge and approach at this crucial point in our journey. If there is anything I could suggest in terms of improvement, it would be for Clare to consider returning to work in Paediatric Oncology!! Many thanks for your fantastic support at this difficult time
