When I first meet patients in clinic, they’ve often recently received a cancer diagnosis and are understandably frightened and anxious about what they’ve been told. I take time to ensure they understand the information they have been told, and I’m always happy to discuss a patient’s questions and concerns. I’m passionate about being at the cutting edge of cancer care and learning about new radiotherapy and systemic therapy treatments so I can make those available to my patients.
