"Breast cancer surgery and reconstruction"

About: York and Scarborough Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust

In late August this year after my first mammogram, I was referred to The Magnolia Centre for further investigations and treatment. Having undergone biopsies and scans over the next few weeks, I was admitted to York Hospital for a double mastectomy and immediate reconstruction which was exactly 5 weeks from initial diagnosis. I can honestly say that I have been blown away by the standard of care I have received at every stage. From the radiographers who carried out 3 biopsies, to the breast care nurses, every time I have been treated with the utmost care and respect. My consultant has been professional, kind and thoughtful which meant I had complete confidence in her ability to carry out my treatment. Post op care was second to non apart from a rogue agency nurse who frankly made me realise just how amazing the other staff were! I would like to send my heartfelt thanks to all who have been involved in my treatment to date and I would not hesitate in recommending the service I have experienced.

Wow what a great post, thank you so much for getting in touch.

It's fantastic to hear what a great experience you have had through what I can only imagine was a very stressful time.

I am so pleased that our staff were professional and thoughtful throughout and that you had confidence in your consultant and her team.

I really hope you are well on the road to recovery and that we continue to offer you the same high level of care for any future appointments you may need.

Wishing you the very best
