Share review of The Royal Marsden Hospital (Sutton)
The rapid diagnostic breast clinic offers a very good service. The medical team are wonderful and with the care & attention given - offer a first rate assessment. No one wants to be there! and all will walk through the door worried and scared, of what lays ahead and what may be. The team listen, are a calm presence and give you more importantly 'time'. You do not feel rushed. One appointment 'to do all', is great and no one minds waiting between mammogram, ultrasound, etc. It should be a model 'a one stop shop clinic', for all aspects of health and tests in hospitals/doctors.
The only thing I think would be great to offer, in addition, is every 6 months (or 3 months), is a meeting with a breast nurse for an examination. This is from someone with very dense, glandular breasts - which feel lumpy all the time. Its tough monitoring on your own, when to you it feels wrong. Whether this is another clinic or a half way house doctors could do.., it would give peace of mind, for ongoing preventative care.
Please extend my thanks and appreciation to all the team. Staff at the Marsden are very special people indeed!
