Mr Richard Turner

Written by a patient at Furness General Hospital

After just being diagnosed with prostate cancer, my wife and I were feeling very low! We were introduced to Richard, as our Macmillan nurse. What a relief to have him. It is just the start of treatment but he is so helpful and knowledgeable about care and treatment. Just talking with him has made us feel comfortable about the procedure. We are feeling so much more positive. Long way to go yet but "Thank you Richard"

To know that I have the support of Richard means so much. I don't have to worry about who to contact if I have a concern, I know that Richard is there to sort it for me. He has been so supportive and guided me through all the stages of my treatment so far, and I know that he will be there for me as my treatment progresses. He always has time for me and has explained the various aspects of the treatment and what to expect, in some cases more than once. In the early stages it was sometimes difficult to take in what I was being told by a consultant or specialist and Richard clarified any uncertainties. I could ask for more from Richard or anybody else who has been involved in my care!!

I cant thank and praise Richard enough. He was always there at the end of the phone or email. He was very honest, helpful, supportive. He certainly is the person you want on your care team when going through hell. Thank you so much Richare

I have recently been diagnosed with prostate cancer, and am only just starting down the road towards treatment. Richard has been already been so very helpful both with the depth of his knowledge, and with practical help and advice. I feel very lucky to have Richard in my corner.

Richard is excellent. We couldn`t have wished for a more understanding, kind and supportive person. Straightforward, clear, good advice and guidance. Nothing too much trouble. Very grateful. He assured us he is available to talk to us as and when needed. How good is that!
