I was lucky enough to be referred to Mr White by a former colleague of his, to be honest i'd struck gold, i had been diagnosed with a cervical spinal cord tumour in 2004 but didn't have my operation until 2008 being a nurse I probably was not the best patient but on meeting Mr White my worries were put at ease, I travelled up from Wales two days prior to surgery, the operation wasn't as successful as everyone had hoped i blame myself for that as i probably left my symptoms deteriorate to a point where I was almost unable to walk, Mr White contacted my husband staight after surgery, after spending 10 days at the QMC in Nottingham i was transferred back to Rookwood in Cardiff to continue my rehab, i must add that Mr White said that i could have gone to any rehab unit and it was my choice. Mr White wrote to me whilst i was in Rookwood and the letter i still have, i have met many a Consultant in my working career but none as professional, caring and understanding as Mr White. It has now been 8 yrs since my operation and my last MRI scan showed no regrowth i was not able to return to my profession but i'm able to walk with crutches and do use a wheelchair but by god it beats being bed bound. I owe my life to Mr Barry White i can't thank him enough
