"I felt reassured and confident"

About: General Surgery / Elective Surgery (Ward 7 & 8) NHS Tayside / East Scotland Breast Screening Centre

(as the patient),

I recently was diagnosed with a few types of breast cancer. My initial diagnosis was in July and August I underwent a full mastectomy and reconstruction.

Recovering well from this surgery I began chemo, however the EC drug I was given didn’t agree with me shall we say and that saw chemo put back a little and my breast surgeon Mr Vinci went ahead with my lymph node biopsy. I have since been told my lymph nodes were clear, and begin chemo again next week to hopefully get rid of all cancer.

Mr Vinci has been polite, warm, kind, informative, throughout. I felt reassured and confident, and mostly very grateful to him for all of his work and time he spent on me, explaining things, allowing any questions, reassuring me and obviously his surgical ability.

Thank you Mr Vinci
