Hi guys all tattooed up today start my treatment on the 21st very impressed with Peterborough hospital they made me feel at ease and confident all will be well hope everyone is ok
Best of luck, I have just received my planning appointment, my wife will be out of the country, so I am taking my son. I don't know who will be worse? He has agreed to be my second set of ears... we shall see.
Keep us updated, it is great hearing from people during their journey, you are at least one step ahead of me.
I had my radiotherapy at Peterborough hospital - they’re a great team: so helpful and friendly. Don’t forget to take a card & a big box of chocolate biscuits for their coffee bar on your last day! AW
Waitrose have the ideal card: All it says on the front is:
"YOU ARE BLOODY BRILLIANT"
It's bright yellow - you can't miss it !
Parking is free - if the car park outside the radiotherapy department is full, continue through the barrier to the MacMillan wellbeing building - free parking and free tea coffee & biscuits. Lovely people. AW
my treatment was at Worcester Royal, couldn't of wished for better care from the receptionists to the treatment team. on my last day of treatment, I took boxes of roses for each of the receptionists and 2 tins of roses for the treatment team. couldn't thank them enough
