Miss Sascha Dua

Written by a patient at Nuffield Health Brentwood Hospital

Lucky day for me when I was referred to Sascha Dua....Month ago I was diagnosed with Breast Cancer after routine mammogram. Meeting Sascha gave confidence in her ability to give me the best chance of curing my cancer. She explained simply (instead of using medical jargon)that I required surgery to remove cancer and lymph nodes, also explained how lymph nodes were shaped to give me a better understanding. Must mention before I carry on that I told Sascha I have white coat syndrome and she replied "this is why I wear black" doctor with a sense of humour to break the ice. I had a CAT scan to make sure no other cancer...worrying time. Sascha gave me the good news it was clear and I instantly hugged her, which she didn't seem to mind. Day of the operation Sascha came to see me and again went through what her plan was, would test the cancer removed during surgery. The duration of operation was 3hrs and once she was finished, as promised she called my husband to put his mind a rest and say "it all went well" Went home next day with antibiotics , paracetamol and ibuprofen. Saw Sascha the following day to check everything was OK and said she would try her hardest to get results of lymph nodes by the following Tuesday and this was Friday. True to her word results were back and Yay! no cancer lots of hugs all round. Referred me to oncologist for treatment...radiotherapy etc It's a real privilege to be cared for by this amazing lady SASCHA DUA...you can tell i'm a fan. Thank you so much for saving me

It was very nice to see a female breast surgeon. Somebody who understood my needs. She made contact with another doctor that I had previously seen, which I was very happy about, as I got to see him and that put my mind at rest. I was also given the opportunity to make contact with other women who had followed the same path that I was about to follow. This was priceless.

Sascha was the one who diagnosed me with breast cancer and has held my hand and has been there from the beginning of my difficult journey. Thankfully I am now coming out of the other end and wouldn't of got through it without her support and her Breast Buddies group who are ladies that are or have been through the same journey and have all been there throughout!!! I cannot praise Sascha enough!!!!! A truly amazing surgeon!!! X

I found Miss S Due a warm friendly surgeon very informative explaining the surgery that I needed very clearly with a diagram leaving no doubt in my mind as to what needed to be done, also asking if I had any questions. Miss Dua even popped her head round the curtain to say hello on the morning of my surgery, a very nice gesture. She was also reassuring on my follow-up appointment. If anyone should find themselves under her care I could only say that you could not find a better more careing surgeon.

I would totally recommend Miss Sascha Dua! I have been under her care since May 2015 when I was diagnosed with breast cancer in my left boob. I have had several operations and many consultations: am hopefully nearing the end of my treatment and total recovery. Throughout the whole long process, Sascha and her team have been brilliant - dealing with my anger, tears and endless stream of questions. Supporting my parents through it all too. She is obviously an expert in her field: she listens, is supportive, caring and always upbeat. You get the best treatment! Thank you to Sascha, all her team - and "Breast Care Nurses are the Best Care Nurses"!
