"What an incredible service and level of care"

About: Royal Cornwall Hospital (Treliske) / Oncology

(as a service user),

I have been under the care of Dr Richard and his team for the last 10 years following a diagnosis of appendix cancer aged 44 resulting in significant surgery, chemotherapy and radiotherapy.

The care and treatment I have received has been exemplary in every way and I have been in remission ever since. Last week I had my annual CT scan and 2 days later on the Thursday Richard called and let me know there was something that needed further investigation. On the following Monday I was contacted by the Alliance team and booked for a PET scan the next day. The PET scan was completed (all of the staff involved could not have been kinder) and 24 hours later I was called again by one of the specialist nurses to let me know the scan was clear. 

What an incredible service and level of care at a time of real stress and anxiety. Thank you Richard, the RCHT Oncology team and our fabulous NHS.

Hello, thank you so much for taking the time to comment on the care you have and continue to receive. To hear the communication and responses from the team has been positive is fantastic, I will pass this on to them and I'm sure they will be most grateful. I wish you well with future appointments.
