“My first time experience of Christie’s hospital :) Unfortunately found out I have stage 4 cancer just before Christmas. I’ve not been tolerating the pain well in my spine and one night the pain was so bad my excellent Macmillen nurse was really worried about me just incase I had spinal cord compression and she got me a bed in Christie hospital on an acute ward. Christie’s hospital worked on relieving that pain and making checks so fast, I was so greatfull to the team there that night for their fast past and understanding. Think I woke up a couple of patients as one said “can you keep the noise down” and the other one said “please close my curtains”….. sorry guys :) I was then transferred in the morning to ward 11 bed 13 the next day. Im not going to lie due to having a renal problems most my life I get pretty anxious about hospitals and stay overs. More so in a hospital I’ve never been too. What can I say porters nice friendly. Masks worn. The ward was so clean the cleaning staff work really hard as did the nurses in fact all staff really nice and friendly. I would like to say a special thank you to Yvonne she went above and beyond when I was feeling pretty low about things and a liver biopsy was about to get cancelled for the second time. She addressed the matter so kindly and with understanding and really it’s down to her I’m sure the biopsy got done that day so thank you Yvonne. Again though once that situation got addressed the team that did the procedure were fantastic. I also received Radiotherapy that evening on my spine to try and help with the pain. Been mine first time receiving radio therapy I had a bit of a cry, I think with it been such a long day and a rollercoaster of emotions i shouldn’t be ashamed about it. The radiotherapy girls came out and spoke to me, went though everything with me let me ask questions with regards to my kidney transplant been as safe as possible too. They were just great! Both teams I met down there were excellent, professional and also caring. While I’m using the words caring i would like to say ward 11 has a very special nurse on there called Ellie. She’s a real gem! a true asset to ward 11 and the NHS. Thank you guys and I do sincerely appreciate everything you all did for me to get me on my feet and home :) I now have a blood and clinic appointment on Wednesday so by no means is it all over but with the experience and care I received this past week I have no doubt I’m in the best hands.,”
