"Diagnosed with suspected cancer in June"

About: Royal Cornwall Hospital (Treliske) / Ear, Nose and Throat Royal Cornwall Hospital (Treliske) / Oncology

(as the patient),

I am fit and healthy and never ill but was diagnosed with suspected cancer in June

The tests and appointment with a consultant and operation itself,were speedy and arranged all within a month. I left hospital in July. From the ear,nose and throat unit, the pre-assessment and the operation -every member of staff; nurses, doctors, surgeons and receptionists etc  were absolutely superb. I was scared and tearful, in shock and alone and I had care, kindness and support every step of the way. The surgeons talked me through each stage. I am an actress and it took great skill to make my scar as minimal as possible. I was asked how I felt in a thorough questionnaire before the operation-so I could be honest because I felt safe. I am very lucky to be clear of cancer.What an incredible service Treliske Hospital offers.

i can now start my life again. Thank you cannot begin to describe the wonderful service they offer.
