I was red flagged to Dr Convey and as a breast cancer survivor I was very worried that cancer had returned. Dr Convey telephoned me to reassure me that my symptoms did not resemble cancer. He then referred me for a colonoscopy, which I had yesterday.
I was extremely anxious about this procedure. When I arrived the team were so attentive, they made me feel so reassured and relaxed before during and after the procedure. Everyone who I was in contact with were so kind and I felt totally respected. Dr Spence took time to introduce himself and shook my hand as I entered the procedure room. This was really personable as being a patient can make you vulnerable.
I can’t thank this whole team enough for their care and attentiveness yesterday.
You are a wonderful bunch of people.
