We hear a lot about waiting lists and how bad the cleaning is in the hospitals well I want to congratulate the Royal Hallamshire, especially the Breast centre

9 weeks ago I saw my own doctor with a lump in my breast and in 9 weeks I have had all the tests and today recieved the letter to say I am all clear.

I am so greatfull with how the staff were so kind and quick at finding out what the lump was. I was so scared at the prospect of the clinic never mind the tests but the staff put you at ease so quickly.

We critisise the hospitals but I have always found them to be execlent.
I know personally I owe them a lot for putting my mind at rest so quickly and now Christmas and 2005 will seem better for me.

For any women or men out there that find a lump, go and see your doctor quickly, I found mind and the day after I went to see my GP. I am so happy I am ok but speed is crucial so don`t think is it me or should I waste their time I say JUST GO, get it sorted your life is worth too much to debate the issue.

Thank you to all the staff at the Breast Clinic.

I have to agree with you the NHS sometimes does not the the praise it deserves,those who work in it are in my mind held in the highest esteem.

for once some praise!! my mums a nurse and it upsets me when they or the medical proffesion get slated because she gives it her all and never fails to help anyone. so its nice to hear someone thanking the nhs for once. u moan about waiting lists but youd moan harder if u had to pay!

Have a wonderful Christmas Rosie.
And I agree, getting things like this sorted immediately is the best way. :)
