Mr Paul Thiruchelvam 2020-08-04 Person 5 5 0

I was diagnosed with early stage DCIS in January 2020 and was given an appointment with Mr. Thiruchelvam. Prior to meeting him, I had reviewed his work profile online and this was impressive and re-assuring. When I met Mr. Thiruchelvam, he reviewed my case and explained to me in detail my situation, and his recommendation. From my very first meeting with Paul, I felt safe and confident in his approach. I genuinely felt I am in the best possible hands to eradicate my cancer. Throughout the treatment, he clearly explained each step (like I can have a nipple sparing mastectomy) they were going to take which really helped me to mentally prepare myself for what lay ahead. He performed a surgery on me just before the Covid lockdown which went well and I was expected to get my mastectomy together with reconstruction in April, which got postponed. His team member whom I saw later in March after the first surgery, assured me that any risk with the delay in surgery is very low since my cancer was non-invasive. Later in May, I received the call from the hospital with a date in June for mastectomy and reconstruction. Mr. Thiruchelvam managed to get my cancer out with a good, clear margin. From a cosmetic aspect, both Mr. Thiruchelvam & Mr Jallali have done an amazing job. My prognosis is very reassuring. Everyone who was involved in my treatment and care were amazing and this went a long way in keeping me positive and confident throughout my treatment phase. I wish Mr. Thiruchelvam and his lovely team all the very best.
