I was recently diagnosed with breast cancer and needed surgery and further treatment. From the minute that I was recalled to the breast clinic after mammogram screening and it needed further investigation it has been very reassuring and impressive how caring, supportive and available the whole team is. After diagnosis I was scheduled for a lumpectomy 6 weeks later. I was admitted to the ward the day before for pre-op tests and to meet my surgeon. The ward was amazing, it is a scary time, but everyone working on the ward are so cheerful and compassionate that they actually make it a pleasant place to be in spite of the circumstances. In the morning before the actual operation there were a couple of different procedures that needed done and it was amazing how it all went like clock work although it involved being wheeled to a couple of different wards for different things to be done. I can not praise everyone involved in the whole hospital stay and care enough for what they have done and for their great and compassionate care, it made a very scary time less scary and comfortable and it is much appreciate and they are an amazing team!
