Written by Healthwatch Cornwall on behalf of the story provider:
I was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2015. The GP referral (Stennack Surgery) was very speedy, the staff are always good and it's always possible to see the doctor of choice. Stennack referred me to the Mermaid Centre at Treliske. The service here was very good too, consultants and nurses. I had a lumpectomy at St Michael's, Hayle in June 2015 and the service was very good. I had chemotherapy and radiotherapy at the Headlands - receiving 6 monthly injections and bone infusions (the last of which is next month). I was at at Treliske following a GP referral last week (Penzance - Rosemellyn Surgery). The letter from Treliske following the referral came only 2 days later for an investigation for possible bowel cancer. I have no complaints whatsoever. I feel I have had very good care. I do think that it is difficult to get to Treliske (I'm a resident in Penwith). I live alone but I manage.
"Good, timely care from cancer services and GP"
