Patient comments

During the entire episode from start to present the care and attention I received was excellent. Nurses and doctors seemed to show genuine concern to get me well again and kept me in a positive mind.
Bowel screening test picked up my cancer otherwise it would have been missed until I had symptoms.
All the team worked wonderful together, always spoke to you and no matter how trivial a question was to you, they always answered it to your knowledge of understanding and put your mind at ease.
The staff gave me confidence to carry on with the treatment.
