"Breast cancer treatment"

About: Breast Screening Unit Royal Devon & Exeter Hospital (Wonford) Royal Devon & Exeter Hospital (Wonford) / Breast care and breast surgery

(as a service user),

My cancer was picked up through routine screening. I had no idea anything was wrong. From screening in a car park to the most recent operation the staff I have come across have been kind, informative, professional and well organised. I have not come across a single difficult person. The surgeon was superb and other patients described her as simply wonderful.

All of the breast cancer nurses have been amazing. I could not have asked for better.

The nurses and staff on Knapp ward are so kind and efficient they quickly put you at ease.

My treatment is not finished yet but I have very high hopes that I will continue to be treated with kindness and respect. In fact the only rude person I came across was another patient.

Thank you to Miss Knight, Mr Hubbard and the amazing breast care team.

Hi there,

Thanks for your kind words.

I am glad your journey was smooth and your operation went well.

Our NHS is great when we need it most.

I am really happy to hear our nurses were able to help you get ready and through surgery in a positive way.

I will pass on this feedback to them. They are always happy to hear their doing things well and will continue to do their best.

Wishing you a safe recovery.

Thanks Wendy
