Please could you pass my absolute thanks on to Natalie who called me last night. 

It was so reassuring to speak to an expert nurse and she has taken a weight off of my shoulders that I have been worrying about for several months.  I can’t believe it took just the one phone call to make me feel so happy and free of worry. 

I would also like to say that Jan who took my phone call yesterday morning is also an absolutely lovely lady and so helpful too.

I attended The Hub, Witham for a breast awareness appointment with a nurse from the Lady McAdden unit at Southend yesterday. The nurse showed me how to examine myself as well as answering any questions that I had. I will definitely attend again if they return to The Hub and would advise everyone else to do the same, thank you for saving me driving to Southend.

Thank you for an awesome and empowering talk. Women’s Institute, this is definitely an organisation to recommend to your feds and groups!

Thank you again to Natalie last night she was a big comfort to my daughter.

Natalie was really supportive and helpful, and my issue has improved considerably. 

Thanks to you and the great support you give. 

Dear Lady McAdden Team,

I just wanted to drop a quick email to say thank you so much for such a cohesive, kind and caring service. It was so easy to access, everyone I spoke to was caring, reassuring and competent. The appointment via video link was as close a second to a face-to-face appointment as I think it’s possible to get. Kerry was so reassuring and kind, the ‘virtual hug’ really made me feel as though we were in a traditional consult. I felt at ease, heard and that the time mattered for me. Thank you all of you, for such a wonderful, empowering service.
 

As always you have been so kind and helpful. I appreciate you so much. Thank you! 

I had a video appointment a couple of weeks ago with your nurse Kerry which was most helpful. 

Following on, I contacted my GP who referred me to the hospital breast unit. I went there this morning and am pleased to say that there is not a problem, thank goodness. 

Many thanks again. 

I just had my online screening with Kerry and I felt I need to email and tell you how at ease Kerry put me in discussing what I will expect over the next few years regarding the screening programme, she explained in detail how to most effectively check my breasts.  I am feeling a lot less anxious now. 

Just wanted to say thank you for arranging for my call with Kerry. She was fantastic to talk to and although I’m quite ‘breast savvy’ she gave me some great new tips/information. Our combined Geordie/Essex humour caused a few laughs which is just the thing when you feel a little anxious!

I will more than happily send a donation and I will fill in my volunteer application form and hope to help in the future. Best wishes to you all at Lady McAdden, you are all wonderful 💕

Just to say Natalie was lovely. A very reassuring voice.

Kind regards I just wanted to say. What a lovely nurse you have working for you. Such a nice lady so kind and caring and listened to everything I said and gave me great advice.

So thank you very much. As soon as I get my disability on Thursday next week I’ll donate some money x thank you
