Thank you gift?

I didn’t. For me I saw different people most days as it’s quite a large unit with 7 machines. I thanked certain individuals personally as I saw them through my treatment especially as some were nicer than others. I imagined it would be well received if you did though. You could also always contact PALS at your hospital and give positive feedback about specific individuals. 

I sent thank you cards to the ward where I had my hysterectomy and to the ward I was on for my brachytherapy treatment. My brachytherapy involved a 2 night stay at the Weston Park Cancer Hospital in Sheffield. The PDR brachytherapy was over a period of 21 hours and the nurses were great -  checking me every few hours, emptying my catheter, bringing me pain killers and massaging my back! So really grateful to them and to the staff at the Royal Hallamshire where I had my op. 

Hi Muse

I think it is up to you and I am sure that a simple thank you card would be well received.

I saw so many different people during my treatments that it would be hard to know who to give it to. I also knew that I would be continuing to see people at the hospital for some time yet.

You are likely to be seen again about a month after your treatment finishes to check how you are getting on so that could also be a chance for a thank you. I like Marmitefan59 's idea of providing positive feedback about specific people who have made a difference.

I left a thank you card with the reception in the radiotherapy department and a card for the people running the machine where I had the vast majority of my treatment.  No chocolates though, I hear they have more of those than they can handle.

I think I will give a card on Monday.

In our hospital while there are 5 machines 2 in one set of rooms and 3 in the other. most of my treatments have been on a single machine. We have the same team of radiographers even on the days when we move to a different machine (maintenance days). Maybe they decided that it’s better for patients to see the same faces and so they are more familiar with a set number. As it’s a teaching hospital there are a couple of student radiographers that seem to swap between my machine and the one next to it. Again it might be good for their training to see patients through treatment. 

Yes I can imagine they do. I will be seeing the reception staff a few more times with my brachytherapy. They have been lovely as well. 

perhaps because ours is a teaching hospital or maybe just policy I have been with the same team (with a student or two on rotation) since Day 1 and they move as a group when there was a rare machine change for maintenance. 
I think a card and a call to PALS 

That's great you had the same team, I hope your last sessions go well

I asked today about it and they confirmed that it was to provide continuity of care for patients. Gosh it’s now 3 to go
