"Fantastic care"

Mermaid Centre

A couple of weeks before Christmas I was called for my first mammogram I thought nothing of it as I couldn’t feel any lumps. A week or so later I held a letter referring me to the mermaid centre,this was in between Xmas and new year . I didn’t worry to much as 27 years ago I had a lump and it was benign, i was so sure this was the same lump. I had another mammogram and had to have a core biopsy just to be sure. Two weeks later I went back for my results and was horrified to be told I had cancer growing inside the benign lump. Words can’t explain how I felt I just felt like crumbling.

My nurse Sarah was fantastic, she made me feel calm and talked me through my cancer. What I found reassuring was the surgeon Mrs English came to talk to me on the same visit so I didn’t have to go home and dwell on things. A week later I’d had my surgery and at the moment having 3 weeks radiotherapy I just want to thank and praise the staff at the mermaid and sunrise centre , Thankyou guys so so much.
