Robotic Surgery Prostate Cancer Removal.

Posted By novemberxn39

"Robotic Surgery Prostate Cancer Removal."

About: Victoria Hospital / Urology

(as the patient),

Have been and still am going through treatment for Prostate Cancer at the Victoria Hospital, Kirkcaldy. From start to now everyone involved within Fife Health Board has been very professional and supportive. Must single out Lauren at Ward 54 who has explained every detail of my treatment and kept in touch. Joy and Beth at the Urology Ward and the surgeon Doctor Al-Shammary who all have been extremely professional and helpful.

My care has been excellent. In this day and age everybody may have a moan and a groan about something. However, thank goodness we still have the NHS and the dedicated staff who do their jobs to look after us all.
