I have decided to try to improve the mental health care for cancer patients in the Nhs.
To do this i need your help .i will have to do a lot of research . That is were you come in ,could you please send me your experiences of the treatment or lack of it you recieved for anxiety or depression after your opps. or chemo and how long it took for you to get to see a clinical psychologist. It took me six months .I think there should be one in attendance with every cancer team to help with the problems a lot of us have while in hospital and when we leave .
Those of you who decided to help me could you let me know which primary care trust you are under ,just to see if like a lot of things in Nhs it comes down to a lottery post code.Could you also tell me if you have bupa or some other private health care so i may compair them with Nhs .when i have collated all data will send to Dept. of health and to mac org.They have had discussions on this but not much data at least not from those who matter those who have and still are going through these problems just like me . it may do no good but unless wetry will never know will we thanks Alan
