On the 3 April I was given the news (with an almost 80% certainty) that I had breast cancer – it picked me. My husband & I were sent away with a list of around 11 hospitals, each with 3 / 4 consultants against them and told to choose one that I would then be referred to the following day. After researching everything from expertise (all clearly had excellent qualifications!), specific procedures each had covered in the field, patient reviews (re. their soft, medical and aftercare skills), peer reviews, papers they’d written, etc. Cheryl Lobo stood out from an incredibly impressive crowd. We picked her… On 12 April I was lucky enough to be in my first consultation with Miss Lobo. Lucky not just with the speed, but with the person. Cheryl Lobo has exceeded all my hopes and expectations. She has been everything I have needed to help take me through this process (alongside the incredible love & support I still receive from my fantastic family and friends). She does not mince her words, but fills you with confidence. Within minutes of our first meeting she confirmed my Breast cancer diagnosis, but in the very next sentence told me how she intended to ‘treat to cure me’, which she has continued to do. I have already had 2 operations under Miss Lobo (following the spread of my cancer), carried out with the skill and cohesive care of she and the amazing MDT at the Wellington (special shout out for the Breast CNS Kate Newson who I know will be my go-to person throughout; but in all honesty all the staff I have met have been lovely!). At no point have I had the time, or inclination, to feel sorry for myself. Miss Lobo has moved all parts of the process along at an unbelievable speed and efficiency – including initiating totally different surgery I was incidentally found to need from my PET scan! She has shown a natural empathy and genuine care for me as her patient, checking on me outside ‘normal’ work hours or clarifying parts of the process she anticipated I would likely be concerned over. Like anyone else I would have clearly have preferred not to have had cancer; but having it, I now feel blessed to be in the hands of Cheryl Lobo and the MD team at the Wellington. (JMc, London)

Dr Lobo was incredibly professional, knowledgable and informative. She explained in great detail how to manage the aftercare. I was also very impressed on how her approachable she was in the consultation.

Amazing doctor.Very pleased with my consultation and how fast my test were done.

In tune with patients needs and clear in explanations - brilliant !

Miss Cheryl Lobo is a lovely consultant who made me feel at ease during the exam and explained how to monitor my breast health through regular self check ups, supportive underwear and annual mammograms after a certain age. Her passion has inspired me to be proactive in taking care of my breasts properly. I will no longer take my health for granted and will incorporate the advice Cheryl has given to me. Thanks Cheryl for everything.

She was amazing - kind, reassuring and an excellent communicator.

Dr Lobo was very friendly, comfortable to talk to and was very personable. She spent time explaining everything and getting to know you as a person not just as a patient.

A great consultant, very approachable.

Hugely professional, reassuring and kind. Thank you so much!
