"Excellent patient care"

About: Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust - City Campus

After being diagnosed with breast cancer in 2023 I received chemotherapy, then breast surgery in April 2024.

Throughout my treatment I was treated with understanding and empathy by the surgical consultant and her team, from my initial appointment to the day of surgery itself.

My treatment options were explained and I was given time to make a decision.

I didn't feel like I was just another patient but rather someone who mattered.

During my post surgical appointment I was told, if I had any worries or concerns I could arrange to discuss things with my consultant and if I needed further surgical input they would advise me.

I cannot praise the team enough it made a very difficult time much easier.

Dear Dawn

Thank you for taking the time to post this and share your story of your treatment journey, and for highlighting the support, information and time you were given as a patient during a difficult time. This is so good to read, and we will share your post with the breast team so they can know their approach was appreciated.

Kind regards

Andrew Steggles
