I had a very good experience ,great care under Dr Paul Thiruchelvam. Everything was what I wanted and I was given appropriate support from the day he told me about my diagnosis of breast cancer. What ever was to happen was discussed with me and all the appointments were arranged around my needs.I did not want any reconstruction at all but he informed me of all the procedures and other options. I had trust in him right from the start, with the support of my best breast specialist nurse Bernie Rizon.My surgery went very well and I was pleased with the care I received, Dr Thiruchelvam visited me with his team on the ward after the surgery, he checked me and asked if I wanted to have a look how the stitching had been done, my answer was No. The following morning he came to check on me again with his team, he removed the corset that was around my chest, very reassuring and kind but that day he did not ask me if I wanted to have a look. That was great, at my own time I got up and went to freshen up and at that point I felt strong and positive to have a look at my self in the mirror. Thank you so much Dr Thiruchelvam for your kindness and care, you do your job with a lot of empathy and understanding of every individual needs, I am lucky to be in your care.
