Mr Jonathan Duncan 2017-05-04 Person 5 5 0

Johnathon Duncan is amazing, what more can I say. I was very recently diagnosed with stage 1 breast cancer (27th feb17) and required an immediate mastectomy. I knew I wanted reconstruction and following discussions with my oncologyst & specialist nurse I decided the DIEP flap was the best option for me so i was referred to Wythenshaw). As soon as I met Mr Duncan I felt at ease, he is so down to earth & caring. He made sure I understood what the process entailed without scaring me (I was terrified of surgery). I saw him a few times before the proceedure and each time he answered any questions I had , without medical jargon , so I understood completely what would happen. After the op he came to check on my progress EVERY day, sometimes twice. If he couldn't then he sent his 'second in command-Dr Nick" he is very protective of 'his DIEP'ladies' & has even popped to see me once I'd been discharged & was attending dressings clinic. I am amazed that a consultant has taken so muchtime to keep his eye on my progress and he was over then moon when I was able to tell him I'd been given the all clear 2 weeks after surgery. He is warm, caring ,compassionate and 'human' with a great sense of humour too. If you are at all concerned please don't be - you are in a very safe pair of hands and I got one am eternally grateful to him for making such a scary time so much more bearable.
