I find it difficult to express just how grateful I and my family are to Mr Cheetham.As a nurse with over 30 years experience working in the NHS I have a very good idea of what makes a good doctor. I can say that Mr Cheetham is the best. He is calm, explains the situation clearly and at all times treats you as an individual.Having been diagnosed with bowel cancer in Dec 2015 I really appreciated his kind ,empathetic manner as he explained the plan of care. Even though I was scared he made me feel safe and even managed to make me laugh with his wicked sense of humour ! After surgery he telephoned my husband to let him know how it had gone which is amazing and much appreciated.His skill in performing the resection laparoscopically has meant a quick recovery and I have had good news regarding my prognosis.He saw me everyday during my hospital stay and again although professional at all times he manages to make what could be a difficult time so much more bearable with his sense of humour. The care that I have received from the chemotherapy team at Mount Vernon ,Mr Cheetham and his team of doctors and specialist nurses and the ward staff at Watford General and Hemel Hempstead hospital has been outstanding and they have saved my life for which I will be forever grateful.
