"Everything has been really good"

About: Cancer Services / Radiotherapy

(as the patient),

I have found it very good coming here. The staff have all been wonderful and I am really pleased with the whole process.

Car parking was my biggest fear before I started my treatment but it has actually been ok - I have only had to wait 10 mins on a couple of occasions.

My schedule of appointments has suited me fine - mostly mornings between 11 am and 12 noon. I have to travel from Arbroath and the roads are fairly quiet at this time of day.

From start to finish, from first diagnosis right the way through, the whole process has been fast. My first couple of appointments were in Perth but thankfully this was changed to Dundee as the travel to Perth would have been so much more difficult.

I cannot think of any improvements that could be made - everything has been really good. I have had four weeks’ treatment - at the beginning it seemed like a lifetime but the time has gone really fast, and now I’m at my last day.

Dear Seagate,

My name is Jenna-I'm one of the therapeutic radiographers from the Radiotherapy team.

Thank you for taking the time to leave your feedback for us-we really appreciate this and it's so great to hear that you had a positive experience when attending for your radiotherapy treatments. I will make sure I share the lovely comments you made about the staff with them all.

The travelling for all the appointments can feel like alot, especially when having to come daily, and as there are only a few hospitals in Scotland which have the radiotherapy machines, it can really take over your routine for a while. I'm glad that coming to Dundee was a little easier for you.

On behalf of the team, we wish you all the best going forward.

Take care,

Jenna
