Excellent care with my Cancer diagnosis and treatment

"Excellent care with my Cancer diagnosis and treatment"

About: General practices in Lothian Western General Hospital / Oncology

(as the patient),

I was diagnosed with Stage 4 Bowel Cancer, aged 46 and a father of 3, in June 2019 - very scary, confusing and worrying. I couldn’t have asked for better or more support from everyone at the Western General Hospital, Edinburgh and my GP Dr Ross, Craiglockhart Medical Group & nursing team... and it keeps on coming! I’m on round 10 of chemotherapy, with many more and planned operations to come. Feeling positive and optimistic for a healthier 2020, with massive thanks to everyone in my NHS team. Wonderful people, fantastic professionals and hugely appreciated.
