"Some very special nurses"

About: Beatson West of Scotland Cancer Centre / Ward B8 (Haematology)

(as the patient),

I have been treated with chemotherapy over the last 12 weeks (bi-weekly) in ward B8 at the Beatson Cancer Care Hospital. I was filled with trepidation about this programme, not knowing what to expect, however from day 1 the nursing staff there made me feel at ease, kept me in the loop with all that was going on and made many decisions that were fully explained to me.

It is hard to put into words how empathetic, skilled and professional this team of nurses are and although everyone I encountered was lovely, I would like to call out specifically Rebecca, Rachel and Kay as these truly fantastic nurses are an asset to the NHS. This team made my journey positive whilst having to adapt to my ongoing needs.

As I face the next part of this treatment, I do so with the knowledge that there is a team and some very special nurses doing a truly wonderful job for cancer patients. Thank you
