I was diagnosed in Jan'15 and what I needed at that point was information and speed. From the moment I made the first appointment, I got exactly that from Giles and the great team at The New Victoria. With all the tests you undergo in the first few weeks, it's the waiting for results that really gets to you. But during that time, Giles provided information and recommendations so I was able to prepare ahead of time for decisions that would need to be made. I was lucky in that my condition meant a single mastectomy, and Giles recommended an interim saline implant that was then expanded after a few weeks by injecting saline through a 'tap' just under the skin. It sounds bizarre - and it is - but it wasn't painful. In June I had a second operation to fit my permanent implant, which felt a lot more natural and like it could be 'me'. Since then I've had a nipple reconstruction and am about to book in for my tattoo. It still all sounds very weird - but Giles does a great job of balancing between managing the serious stuff effectively - and recognising the humorous bits of this crazy situation we find ourselves in. He is always extremely professional, and ready to spend extra time to answer questions if needed. I have no hesitation in recommending Giles, and the fantastic team at The New Vic. I'll be forever grateful to them.
