Such a calm and friendly atmosphere

Posted By Bob Smith

"Such a calm and friendly atmosphere"

About: New Victoria Hospital / Clinical Haematology (Clinic P)

(as the patient),

I was diagnosed with Breast Cancer and was advised that I would be having chemotherapy then surgery and radiotherapy. Very shocking news as I was feeling completely fine and had no symptoms.

The staff at the New Victoria went above and beyond to make me feel comfortable and safe. 

There was such a calm and friendly atmosphere that made the treatment I was receiving more bearable.
