I couldn’t have asked for a better experience at a very worrying time. Professor Nutting was kind, thorough and very clearly informative.
I saw professor Nutting following a CT scan of my head and thorax. He explained in detail the results which showed that the disease hasn't worsened but there was limited shrinkage. This then allowed for more chemo sessions. His report and recommendations are welcome news to my wife and me. We were desperate for something positive
