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.
