"My cancer care has been amazing"

(as the patient),

I can honestly say that since I was diagnosed with Triple Negative Stage 3 breast cancer last year, my treatment has been amazing.  This relates to the care I have received both medically/physically AND emotionally too. 

I see how busy the staff are, yet when I am with the team who look after me, at that moment they make me feel like the only person that matters at that time in the world.  I don't feel rushed in anyway, which is why if my Doctor is running late, I never feel annoyed as I want every cancer patient to feel special and not rushed during their appointment too.

Thanks to Sarah  Lincoln Gynea.  What a truly kind and compassionate woman! Explains pros and cons beautifully in a language I can understand. Providing emotional support also. I felt fantastic, like a huge wait had been lifted after my recent appointment with her.

Kathryn Genetics Counsellor 

Patient and incredibly knowledgeable 

Dr Chowdhury Oncology Lincoln

What a guy! I only have to see his face and I feel happier. The most wonderful man who has helped me through this terrible time and kept me positive. His two assistants Carol and Sue brighten my day. The whole Ingham Team are phenomenal people

Mr Jibril Surgeon Lincoln Breast Clinic 

Fantastic bed side manner, incredibly thorough and even performed my mastectomy on his day off as he knew how desperate I was to have him conduct my surgery. 

Thank you all! You're all so special and I will never forget your kindness at my darkest times xx
