I had been diagnosed with cancer just after Christmas 2024 .I had been admitted to Wishaw General on my first occasion I spent around 19 days here to have blood transfusions and antibiotics I struggled mentally to cope with my diagnosis and could not sleep, I was in a terrible state of mind unresponsive to all medical staff.
I was then Admitted again as I have a rare form of cancer along with complications I underwent surgery to improve my quality of life as I was extremely sick and ill. This surgery would assist me through my cancer journey ,to date I have spent a total of 60 days in the great and dedicated care of all staff here at Wishaw general I only had 1 department where I felt very poorly treated and that was down to individuals.
I still have to face my cancer journey, however my time has given me the opportunity to really know what it means to be patient ,to accept care, kindness goes a long way but I want to thank all the staff of ward 13 and the NHS. Yes there are lots of negative stories, but I just wanted to say no one tells the great achievements and the happy outcomes of life, we just swamp ourselves in the negative
"My treatment and care"
