Was diagnosed a year ago with stage 4 metastasised breast cancer, finding treatment, travel, needles all difficult.
Borders General Macmillan Centre arranged for me to have a CT scan, NM bone whole body, and physiotherapy session all on one day.
Julie - cannula and radioactive, John - Senior radiographer, and Louise for bone scan. They were all so kind and efficient.
Also, Sally the physio was absolutely wonderful very helpful. All in all, a day I was dreading was made not too bad at all.
Big thank you to Borders General,
