Cancer diagnosis.

"Cancer diagnosis."

About: New Stobhill Hospital (Glasgow)

(as a relative),

I was present at a consultation when my partner was diagnosed with cancer today. Dr Milroy was professional and went above and beyond to support myself and my partner in what was a harrowing time for both of us. I would like to thank him for his care compassion, and empathy. All I can say is what a brilliant Consultant he is, and I'd like to pass on my heart felt thanks.

Dear Grateful relative

Thank you for taking the time to post on Care Opinion. I am sorry to read about your partner's diagnosis and understand that receiving that news would have been harrowing for both of you. I am glad to read that you both felt that Dr Milroy was compassionate and empathetic during your appointment.

I will ensure that your kind words are shared with Dr Milroy.

Best wishes
Lisa
