From my first arrival to begin chemotherapy last year I was provided with the highest quality care. The nurse who fist met my wife and I explained very clearly what was going to happen, and while I received my first dose of chemotherapy she went out of her way to find a cancer diary for me. I found this little book really helpful during my treatment. It enabled me to record what was happening to me and how I felt about it, along with charting my progress. After my first treatment I went to the Christie at Macclesfield. The staff at Macclesfield were all brilliant. By my second visit the receptionist knew my name and started to put me at ease. The phlebotomy team were so professional and friendly. In the treatment area I was put at ease and given the treatment by staff who can perform professionally while being friendly and obviously caring about patient care. To do this day in and out when patients are often suffering and anxious, they are very special people. Sadly the chemotherapy has not worked as well as hoped, and I am back at the Christie in Manchester. At a worrying stage in my treatment, Dr Croxford and his team are allaying my concerns and working to deliver the next stage of treatment.
