"Surgery for breast cancer"

About: University Hospital Wishaw / Day Surgery

(as the patient),

I recently had a lumpectomy at Wishaw General hospital. I felt really nervous as I wasn't sure what to expect, but thanks to the day care nurses I was made to feel at ease, as everything was explained to me  - from what would happen before surgery to what to expect when I went home.

Also, the Anaesthetists were fantastic. I've had a bad experience with Anaesthetic in the past, which made me nervous, but they took my concerns on board and ensured my experience was alot more pleasant, and that I didn't feel a thing.  And the Surgeon did an amazing job removing the lump and putting me back together.

I can't thank the team enough for all their dedication and hard work. I truly appreciate everything they've done for me and continue to do for others. Keep up the good work and keep smiling. Take care.

Dear PatientLS, thank you for taking the time to share your feedback on Care Opinion.

I am pleased to hear that you had a positive experience while in our unit despite the stress you must have been feeling that day.

I will be sure to pass on your kind comments and thanks to the team at our midday brief. They will be delighted to hear that their efforts made a difference and it will be a welcome boost on this wet, miserable day!

I hope you are recovering well at home.

Kind regards, Lynne.
