The Royal Marsden Hospital (Chelsea) 2021-06-13 Person 5 5 0

I was not an inpatient so did not have any meals at Royal Marsden hospital Sutton. My treatment was painless ( Radiotherapy/CyberKnife) so did not require pain control.

The success of my treatment depended on maintaining a comfortable position with minimum of movement. I was receiving treatment for a brain tumour which required me to wear a fixed shell (face mask) to limit movement of my head. Some of the staff were better at positioning the mask than others. I found that if the mask was placed accurately, it was much easier to maintain the fixed position necessary. Accuracy is key for this. All staff were very considerate but I think a method of applying the mask should be a standard procedure.
