I was diagnosed with tongue cancer two and half years ago and Mr Mattine was my main consultant who removed 2cm of my tongue and replaced it with strip of muscle from my leg. This, I will admit takes experience/knowledge and superb skills by Mr Mattine and his very capable team. I was treated with the upmost understanding of my condition by all members of Mr Mattine's staff throughout my eighteen days. Having spent my life in the world of physical training, both in the army and the police, I was shocked to realised I had tongue cancer, but the reassurance I received was excellent.
The operation has left me with a slight speech impediment and dry mouth, but I am now continuing my love of sport - cycling, running and climbing. ( I'm cycling the Velo Birmingham 100 miles in May this years, so there is life after cancer, thanks all members of the very caring staff at NHS Worcester. The Cancer unit needs all the support it can to enable them to continue their excellent work.
