"Great care"

After a few anxious months of being told he had indigestion, despite being in agony and losing weight, my husband was eventually diagnosed in September with cancer. We were referred to the MacMillan unit at the Ulster Hospital Dundonald.  From day one they took great care of us.  Even though my partners first wife had died from cancer aged 40, and I have been a volunteer for Marie Curie for over 20 years we both didn’t know what to expect.  My husbands cancer turned out to be very aggressive and even though it initially responded well to chemo, after a few cycles it started growing again.  

The care that the nursing staff on ward 6A and 3D especially showed us whilst he was an inpatient was second to none.  They had so much time for me and I will never forget being asked how I was doing, that meant so much to me.  Dr McCormick and her team at MacMillan at UHD are just angels.  We cannot thank them enough for the love and care they show us each day as we go on this journey.
