"I feel very confident about the whole process"

About: Aberdeen Royal Infirmary / Cancer Services (Medical Oncology)

(as a service user),

First chemo appt today at ward 308. I had a very person centered experience. I had already had a really full and well explained induction from one of the Nurse Practictioner (on ward 310) a few days before so I felt very reassured about coming into the ward. I got Charlotte as the nurse looking after me for the day. She and all her colleagues never stopped moving the entire time I was there (and due to when I got my infusion I was there most of the day) but none of the patients felt that they didn't have her entire attention. She explained everything, helped me try the cold cap (I gave up) and was so nice when I decided not to bother. I feel I have a full understanding of what happened and I feel very confident about the whole process. BTW, the cleaner that you have in that ward is a wee ray of sunshine. See you next week!

Dear DCT66

thank you for taking the time to post really positive feedback about the care you received in Wards 308 and 310. I was really heartened to read about your person centred experience and that you felt the service was focussed on you as an individual

I will forward your post to the staff concerned. Staff really appreciate kind comments such as these and is a great morale boost.

I hope that your treatment is going well and that you are affected with too many side effects from the chemotherapy

Thanks again for posting your comments on the Care Opinion website, at an already stressful time for you and your family- we really do appreciate it

Kindest wishes

Yvonne
