An incredible team

"An incredible team"

About: University Hospital Monklands / Gastroenterology (Ward 10) University Hospital Monklands / General Surgery (Wards 4 & 7)

(as the patient),

I was diagnosed with Bowel Cancer.   I received surgery within weeks, fantastic surgeon and he had an incredible team.   The aftercare I received fro the nurses Tracy and Pamela was amazing.   Regular appointments seeing the same people allowed them to get to know me and my family.   As a result I have beaten the cancer and I feel if it wasn't for the colorectal team at Monklands Hospital I would have never had made it.   These doctors and nurses deserve so much praise.   I will never truly be able to thank them enough.

Dear A-168

Thank you so much for taking time to give such positive feedback on Care Opinion around your recent experience. I am delighted to hear that you underwent your surgery timely and felt supported by the Colorectal Team during this time. Being diagnosed with cancer and undergoing treatment is a stressful time for patients and their families therefore the support and guidance from the team is of great value to all to help get you through each step.

I know that Tracey and Pamela do their very best to support and guide during and after treatments and will be delighted to received such positive and supportive feedback. They will also be appreciative of you taking the time to share.

Thank you once again for taking the time to give feedback and I hope that this experience continues with you to give support and encouragement during your ongoing care and follow up.

Warmest Regards

Lynn
