"You have made this journey so much easier."

About: Antrim Area Hospital / Breast Care Antrim Area Hospital / Day Surgery Unit

(as a service user),

I was more than pleased with the services that was provided. Everyone was so friendly and helpful, they were always there if I needed to talk to them. They relaxed me and reassured me everything was going to be okay.

The doctors were very good at explaining every detail about my surgery and the aftercare. This was a huge positive as I never felt that I was in the dark.

You never want to hear the words "you have cancer" it is the one thing that would send you into an endless spiral of emotions and make you feel that your life has ended but if I wasn't surrounded by the doctors and nurses I don't know what I would do they made feel supported and understood.

I just want to thank every single one of the doctors and nurses within the Antrim Hospital, you have made this journey so much easier.
