"Endometrial biopsy and hysteroscopy"

About: Queen Margaret Hospital / Gynaecology

(as a service user),

I was recently referred to QMH in Dunfermline, Fife, following a post menopausal bleed. I was quite concerned as there can be an increased risk of endometrial cancer when taking Tamoxifen, which I was prescribed following breast cancer. 

I would describe my treatment in Cinic 4 as outstanding.

The staff there, led by Dr McNab and Dr Devi were very supportive and kind. I felt reassured every step of the way.

Both doctors explained the procedures in full prior to and following the minor surgery. 

On both occasions, the procedures were painless. I had been anxious about this but was offered lots of reassurance by the nurses present.

My only criticism would be the amount of time I had to wait for my appointments (bleed in July, second biopsy in October) but this was not the responsibility of the staff there. 

I am extremely grateful for the level of care I received and would like to thank all the staff working in Clinic 4.

Dear fraserc02,

Thank you very much for taking the time to write this lovely feedback. I am delighted the procedures went well and the staff supported and reassured you. I will personally ensure Dr McNab, Dr Devi and the staff are informed of your kind words.

I am sorry to hear you had a delay between appointments. If you wish to contact me, I can investigate any reasons for the delay. My email address is pamela.galloway@nhs.scot

I do hope your treatment for breast cancer is going well, wishing you best wishes for the future.

Kind Regards

Pamela
