I went for a diagnostic colonoscopy on 27th August 2022 after having submitted a sample to The Bowel Screening Service 2 weeks earlier. I had a number of polyps removed one of which was found to be cancerous. I was referred to the surgical team and in November I had a left hemicolectomy performed by Mr Farquharson and his team.
From my first interaction with the hospital, all the way through to my post operative care, I received very professional treatment from a very dedicated team of people. My recovery has been excellent and I only experienced a couple of weeks of discomfort. I am fortunate not to require any further treatment but will continue to be monitored.
This particular service is one that the Shrewsbury Hospital should be very proud of.

I would like to give my most sincere thanks to Mr. Farquharson and his team for the wonderful care and treatment that I received during my surgery for Bowel Cancer in September. I had not been in any pain, or other indication of anything untoward. However a Blood Test indicated severe anaemia which lead to further investigations before Mr. Farquharson advised that I had Bowel Cancer and needed an urgent operation. Mr. Farquharson was very honest, supportive and reassuring throughout the whole experience and was able to put me at ease for such a big operation. I was very impressed by his expertise, manner and professionalism, and I am eternally grateful to him and his team.

We were very impressed by his expertise, manner and professionalism, and we will always be eternally grateful to him and the team.

In november 2018 I was diagnosed with bowel cancer. I was referred to Mr Farquason and quickly (within 6wks) admitted and operated on. I had an illiostomy for 8months and then a reversal. It was not an easy experience, but I was supported and advised by Mr Farqueson and his wonderful team of colorectal nurses for as long as I needed them. I was checked with a C. T scan annually, which was very reassuring, they were always clear. I think the scan I had in 1921 was my last and it was negative. I feelnow I was so fortunate to have had a surgeon with the expertise, enthusiasm and professional dedication to his work. I am so greatful that I have been helped to be free of bowel cancer and can continue to enjoy life. Thank you Mr Farquason and your team.

I was in agony and had been for a few days!! Mr Farquharson shocked me by saying my emergency operation may cause them to take away some bowel and give me a bag!! I did need some bowel taken but no bag. Although I thought he was a little abrupt to start with he performed the op and told me everything- he couldn’t have been nicer. I attended a check up clinic 12 months later. Absolutely satisfied and thankful for his expertise and kindness.
