Mr Ali Salih 2021-03-18 Person 5 5 0

Mr Salih had a very quiet and calm manner which helped enormously as I felt worried and concerned about my condition. He took time to reassure me and answer my questions. He always has a totally professional manner. I left the hospital feeling the visit had been worthwhile and with the knowledge that the fears I had had about my breast was all down to the radiotherapy treatment which can last for a number of years. I think it would be helpful to let patients know that the breast will stay very "hot" compared with the untreated breast for a very long time and also very tender. I am now 18 months on from my surgery and still experiencing this. Maybe this information could be given out on the last session of radiotherapy. If I had known this, it would have saved months of worry. Unfortunately Covid-19 prevented me from speaking about this earlier because I knew there would be many new cancer patients seeking and needing surgery. I hope this has been useful. :)
