"Fantastic radiotherapy care"

Today I have received my final radiotherapy treatment at the Royal Surrey Cancer Centre, based at ESH, and so I would like to feedback to you about my treatment.

As soon as I first walked into the centre for my planning CT scan right up until today, I have received exemplary treatment in every way. Every single member of staff has been patient, kind, considerate, and professional. No question was unaddressed, and I felt truly seen as an individual, with individual concerns that warranted time and attention. The centre itself is a safe, tranquil, and pleasant space, despite the nature of the treatments involved - for me, the daily visits were stress free and easy to undergo. I was fortunate to have my last few treatments on the newly installed Linac, and although no one would choose to have to undergo treatment for cancer, I can genuinely say my memories of this time will be wholly positive.

Being a resident in Horley, the fact that the centre is based at ESH is a huge factor in the positive nature of my experience – a very short journey to and from the hospital meaning no added fatigue from travel. I am so grateful for that, and even having a dedicated car park contributed to the smoothness of each visit.

In the midst of a rather unwelcome situation, I truly have so much for which to be grateful.
