"I got surgery, and I was very well looked after"

(as a service user),

I went for a Covid vaccine, I noticed I had yellow hand and mentioned it to the girl who was going to jab me. She told me to get an urgent appointment. I went to my GP, and she acted promptly and got bloods done right.

Next I was referred, I had a scan and then I went to see David at Glasgow Royal and he acted promptly as well. I got surgery, and I was very well looked after. They treated me like a queen really. As soon as I woke up the surgeon was standing there, and he told me it was done and he’s been able to do it with a laparoscope, so I didn’t need a stoma. He phoned my daughter to tell her the surgery was over, and I was only in hospital for 6 days and treated very very well.

Then I went back for check up. I need chemotherapy, and I had to go to the Beatson in Glasgow and I had 5 months of chemo and again, I was very well looked after. I have got nothing, but praise.

Even if you think something is daft or insignificant then go and get checked.

Dear monocerosqd66

Thank you for taking the time to feedback your experience. I am so glad to hear that you were well looked after during the 5 months you attended the Beatson for chemotherapy and I will share your lovely comments with the Team.
