"Oncology"

About: Wonthaggi Hospital / Integrated Care Centre (L.Rigby Centre)

(as the patient),

Would like to say what an amazing team you have, caring, compassionate, and a amazing continuity with Haley. All the staff I've dealt with have been friendly and professional in their jobs. 

As you seem to have a great support network for the ladies who are going through these difficult times, as I feel we all know blokes tend to keep it all inside, after a heart attack a few years ago, I was referred to a programme run for heart attack patients, I found this very helpful and informative, and was hoping we could set up a group for all patients of oncology. Happy to discuss way to make this happen for all.

Cheers,

limaqp78

Dear limaqp78,

Fabulous Idea! You have summed up really well the difference in the way we as individuals respond to illness and it is really important to find ways to talk about our experiences and fears and aspirations. If you could possibly call me or text me (0472846355) your number, I will pass on your details to the relevant leaders in our team to reach out and talk about what might be possible. It may be a little while before we can get things going given our severe staff shortages, but it doesn't stop us planning.

Thanks so much for posting such lovely feedback about our team in the Integrated Care (Chemo and Infusion unit). They are, we agree, simply extraordinary.

I hope your treatment is going well and I wish you every best wish.

Kind Regards, Jan
