I was diagnosed with breast cancer around a year ago. The day I was told this news I felt as if my whole world had fallen apart. There was no history of cancer on either side of my family so I was just in total shock. I remember I just couldn't stop crying and was so scared about what would happen next.
It is because of this that I just wanted to write in and express my sincere and heartfelt thanks to all the staff that I came into contact with throughout my cancer journey, and to mention a few by name.
On the first day that I was told I have to say that Yvonne, the breast care nurse, was so kind and although I was in a very distressed state, she was very understanding and calmed me down a bit. My consultant Mr Simpson was so nice and took the time to explain things to me, even though I spent most of the time crying. Even the staff that work in the radiography side of things (Gavin, Eddie and Clive) were all brilliant. I was very scared and emotional throughout all of my cancer journey but without the care and the understanding from these people that I have mentioned, I would not have been able to get through it, and I just want to say again how amazing they all are and to thank them so much for all that they did for me.
"Sincere and heartfelt thanks"
