Dear marsdb76,

I am sorry to hear about your fairly recent diagnosis. It must have been difficult to hear this news and to experience some of the symptoms that you mention. Pain and anxiety can have such a negative impact on your life so it is so good to hear that being referred to our Out Patient Department at St Andrew’s Hospice has helped you so much.

It is always our aim to work with you to support and empower you to meet your achievable goals to enhance your quality of life.

Thank you for sharing a little of your story. It means so much to us that you have taken time to do this. Your story will also help to inform others about the support which your Hospice can provide when needed,

Kindest regards,

Margaret
