I have been treated for cancer at the Royal Marsden for the last five years and have had Dr Robin Jones as my primary oncologist for the last three years. Since then I see him every couple of months and have been through numerous different treatments under his direction, including three separate rounds of chemotherapy. I think the world of Robin and can’t praise him highly enough for his professionalism and knowledge and above all for his tremendous humanity and compassion. Firstly, I had a rare type of sarcoma and then secondly I was diagnosed later with a completely separate but also rare type of cancer. Despite this second type not being directly in Robins area of specialism, i decided to continue with him, so great is my trust and confidence in him. He is abreast of all the latest cancer research and is clearly at the forefront of his field. I am convinced that I wouldn’t be alive today without him, as the initial prognosis was so gloomy but thanks to him and his excellent support team, I am not only alive but as I write this feel great. I honestly regard him as a gift from God. He is always available, always helpful and his “bedside manner” is amazing. I particularly recall him delivering some very bad news with the greatest care and compassion. In summary, Robin’s humanity and gentleness are absolutely outstanding and I recommend him in the highest possible terms as a wonderful medical professional and a deeply compassionate and kind human being.
