"I have had a really positive experience"

About: Oakhaven Hospice

(as a service user),

I have had a really positive experience coming to day hospice.  I have had consultations with doctors, physio and complimentary therapy. I have found it a safe environment where I have been able to discuss things I wouldn't discuss with anyone else. I used to be very disappointed with my diagnosis and the surgeons decision not to operate. I now see it was the right choice.

I am much less anxious and at 'peace' with myself. I found myself thinking of the disease and dying constantly. Those thoughts are very infrequent now, which means I am able to live and enjoy the remaining time I have left. I feel I have a positive, trusting relationship with the hospice staff.
