Podium 1

Story from nhs.uk

"Podium 1"

About: North Middlesex Hospital / Oncology

I have never been taken up in a cancer ward before in my life.

This was a wonderful experience... I only have grattitude and admiration for this huge machine u call NHS.

What a wonderful country to be a small part of!! Every one is working together in harmony while carrying this huge emotional burdon of every individual they need to take care of... I am one of the lucky ones. My cancer has not spread. After my almost 2 weeks journey in your hospital, i know exactly what i would like to do for the rest of my life.

I would very much like to come and do some free volunteer work in this same ward where my cancer journey has taken me. Hats off to the NHS and my Consultant and their excellent team. Anneke Grobler.
