Dear mineralkp78

Thank you for sharing your story with us on Care Opinion.

I'm really sorry to hear your daughter was diagnosed with Osteosarcoma, and had to undergo Chemotherapy and an operation. This must have been and continue to be a very challenging time for your family.

I'm glad to see from your tags that you felt listened to and at ease, and that staff were kind and professional. I'm also pleased the play team were able to help your daughter while she was in hospital.

I have shared your feedback with the teams involved, and I hope your daughter is doing well following her treatment.

Take care

Louise
