Cervical cancer - will I need further treatment after hysterectomy?

Just write them down, but also ask other people on here who have also had the same OP etc.

There are a lot of people on here, who have had, how can I say 'a bad time' and I hope you will feel a bit more happy, by talking to them x

I hope that Macmillan can also support you with some information and support as you have been so unhappy with your care. We say: 

Many people are happy with the treatment and care they get from healthcare professionals. But sometimes mistakes happen, or things go wrong. If you are unhappy about the treatment you have received, you have the right to complain.

Getting feedback and complaints is important for health services. It lets health services and professionals understand what is working well and what the problems are. This helps services improve the care they give.

For people who use health services, making a complaint can also be a positive way of dealing with an upsetting situation. Getting an apology or an explanation of what went wrong sometimes helps people understand and cope with what happened. It may also be reassuring to know what is being done to make sure the situation will not happen again.
