"Radiotherapy"

About: Castle Hill Hospital

37 session s of shots to prostate involving 3800 miles of driving and laying very very still for about ten minutes each day. After a fortnight my wife had to drive me home as I became increasingly tired. The staff are ace, generally I saw the same 2 or 3 on the same machine but occasionally there were delays moved to another machine ( there are six) All excellent professional yet friendly I had few side effects which I put down to their patience in lining me up right - which may need them to push the hips or buttocks a little - and in laying still and in following their advice in having a full bladder and an empty rectum. Too much information? Well, be prepared to spend time in getting it right Apart from the regular radio session I was sent to their radio department nurse who brought a doctor down to examine me then got me onto an ultrasound scanner on the other side of the hospital and then dispensed snto biotics all within 27 hours showing that this really is a joined up service Parking at the queen's entrance is free but a %10 per month pass saveducj hassle driving round the one esu hoping to find a free place. See the radio reception staff The entrance has shop plus a hidden coffee machine yo avoid shop queues. Cafe with tables in and out. Comfortable lounge by entrance Also a siprb Mac millan info corner and an extra oncology healthcare centre where the 3 friendly staff are excellent. All in all if you need cancer treatments then this facility is the tops Opened in 2000. .
