Outstanding care my father received

Posted By Nicola7

"Outstanding care my father received"

About: Antrim Area Hospital / Specialist Palliative Care Team Antrim Area Hospital / Ward C7 Haematology/Renal Laurel House Chemotherapy Unit / Cancer Services

(as a relative),

My Dad had AML and relapsed in April and passed away around 6 weeks later.

The treatment and care he received in C7 and Laurel House was outstanding. 

A special thank you to Ray who looked after my Dad in his final days, you are a credit to C7. Not only did you look after my Dad but you made sure I was ok as well. I can never thank you enough.

Also Dr Murdock and Patrick (not sure if you're Dr Patrick), thank you for everything you did for my Dad during his treatment over the 3 years.

The girls in Laurel House. Kirsty, Sarah and everyone else (sorry I don’t know your names), my Dad thought the world of you all and looked forward to going up to get his treatment.
