"Could not have been kinder or more reassuring"

About: Royal Cornwall Hospital (Treliske) / Gynaecology

(as the patient),

I recently had a Hysteroscopy at Treliske Hospital.

My team were Jo, Helena, Zoe, & Yvonne. I don't think I was an easy patient, but they could not have been kinder or more reassuring. Everything was done at my pace, and every part of the procedure was thoroughly explained before it took place. 

It's never going to be the most fun experience, but if you have symptoms that need investigating via this procedure, it isn't the worst either, so if you're reading this from an information gathering perspective prior to an appointment try not to worry about it, and take my best wishes for a good outcome with you.

Hello JayPBR,

your kind words are appreciated and as you say although not the best thing to have to experience it is not the worst either and the investigation can often reassure someone that all is well or initiate a plan of action should it be necessary.

Our hope is that people may come across stories such as yours and be reassured. I have passed on your kind words to the team involved in your care.

I hope your recovery is going well!
