Written by a patient
8th May 2018


I was diagnosed with a grade 3 invasive ductal carcinoma on Friday 6th April, 2018. Due to there being a space, I was able to have it removed on Wednesday 11th April! I was incredibly scared about everything, and the speed that the operation was organised. Mr Batel was very kind, listening to all my questions, answering them as best as possible with the available information (until then I had no idea there are different types of breast cancer and so treatment isn't 'standard' but tailored to the patients' specific diagnosis). He calmly repeated himself -several times - when I struggled to comprehend what was happening / being proposed. He also listened to my concerns as to how the surgery might damage the function of my breast (in terms of possible future lactation). Ultimately a kind and considerate - without offering false hopes - and professional doctor. (FYI He is an onc-plasti surgeon)
