Dr. Tappin has given me life after Non hodgekin lymphoma in 1987. I was 23 yrs old then with few months old baby boy and in a bad marriage in an Indian family . Dr Tappin was most understanding empathic and gave me support each time I wanted to refuse to take the treatment. .he would leave his clinic to see that I took the treatment because I wanted to die.. I have a picture of him with me in my lounge to see on days that are tough..Dr.Tappin is very good person and my life is pretty good on most days. I did get reoccurrence after a car crash in 2007 but now I live in County Durham and I miss having Dr Tappin..here..may God bless Dr.Tappin.

I first met Dr Tappin in 1984 when he told me that my Aunt ( who had slight learning difficulties) had two large carcinomas in her stomach. He asked me did he want to tell her and I said no because she would not understand fully what it would mean and she would be scared. He then very gently told her that she needed an operation to try to make her feel better. She had the operation in which he took 3/4 of her stomach away basically to reduce any pain she might have at the end of her life. 6 months later she passed and did not need any pain relief whatsoever, very unusual for stomach cancer. I then met him again 5 years later when I had been diagnosed with malignant melanoma, luckily for me it was caught early but I still had to have blood tests every 6 months and see Dr Tappin for 5 years. When I was eventually given the all clear I got quite upset that I wouldn't see him again ( hopefully ) and I told him that he had been the best Dr I had ever had the pleasure of trusting. Great man , fantastic Doctor.

Dr John Tappin treated me for recurant Hodgkins Lymphoma in 1981. Having initially been diagnosed in 1970 ( I was then 13yrs old), the disease was considered almost incurable and in 1973 it recurred and was treated at Clatterbridge Hospital with the then new 'Chemotherapy' treatment. However in 1981 it recurred again and this time I was referred to Dr Tappin at Whiston Hospital . Dr Tappin treated an aggressive return of the disease with resounding success and I will be eternally grateful for his determination to cure what had eluded previous attempts . I consider Dr Tappin to be a fine Doctor who works tirelessly and passionately for his patients . A man who I can and still do turn to for any serious medical advise , who each and every time I have asked it of him, has immediately afforded me a piece of his valuable time in speaking to me and on recent occasions 'Fast-tracked' me through the red tape when I have needed medical guidance. A thoroughly competent Haematologist and dedicated example of his profession , who I could not recommend more highly. David Davies
