"First visit pre op"

About: The Royal Marsden Hospital (London)

Very disappointed in the waiting areas , my pre op tests were done in different areas and have called them to say parts were missed but they are adamant they were done ( my husband was with me . Also felt like just a number and not a person , the Marcus unit had a pleasant atmosphere unlike the reception and rapid diagnosis unit. I'm dreading comming for my operation as I feel it's going to be rushed and done along the lines of " in/out even if your not up to the 2.5 hour drive home . Would like to have spoken or seen a physiotherapist to prior to my operation so they can see what I am able to do, I have already lost my hamstring muscles and about to have sarcoma removed from brevis and Magnus muscle , surgeon has said will walk with different gait , I have walked in a certain way for nine years since my first operation . We are realy concerned
