Dr Petkar was extremely articulate around what to expect for my particular situation, he made me feel safe in the knowledge that he knew exactly what was right for me and made sure I fully understood the reasons why
Dr Petkar was absolutely amazing from start to finish , he kept me fully informed of what to expect from the day that I met him , he explained in detail about the radiotherapy and chemotherapy treatment that I was to recieve so that I could enter the process with a better understanding of what to expect in the days and weeks to come. He assigned me the very best nurse ,Miriam, who was an absolute angel and Laura and the radiotherapy team were excellent ! I truly feel that I have had the met with some of the best people ,caring considerate and truly devoted to getting me through my cancer treatment. I know cancer is not the word anyone wants to hear but knowing that you have excellent people dedicated to help you get through this makes it a journey that is more palpable! Thank you Dr Petkar you have been amazing!!!!!!! That word is not enough to convey my gratitude!!!
