Mr Drostan Cheetham 2015-06-24 Person 5 5 0

My operation was on 16th April 2015 and I have nothing but praise for Mr Cheetham and his team. From the minute I met Mr Cheetham I felt at ease, he has a terrific manner, very calming and matter of fact. He has an ability to talk to you on a personal level and clearly explains everything that is going to happen and has happened. A down to earth real person, not like often a person in a suit talking down to you. My operation was a bit tricky and he said he would try to do it keyhole, his tenacity and determination to achieve this meant he spent a lot longer than expected, he succeeded which gave me a quicker recovery, I am sure many surgeans would have tried to keep to the keyhole surgery but when it got difficult would have taken the easier route for them and not been as dogged and determined to carry on this less invasive option with my short and long term recovery in mind above an easier task for himself. I am very lucky to have previously had an excellent Heart consultant in Duncan Diamond at Barts, for an earlier medical issue and now I am even luckier to have Mr Cheetham as my cancer consultant, one of the nicest medical people I have ever met. THANK YOU Mr Cheetham for making this really difficult time a lot easier to cope with.
