She found the clinical care marvellous but did not receive enough support after her operation.

 



What's your view of the National Health Service after all this?

The National Health Service I think has been absolutely brilliant, I can't fault them before or during my operation, I thought they were absolutely marvellous, but after the operation I think they're sadly lacking. I don't think there's enough care given to people afterwards. They've done, as far as, it's just the way their attitude is, we've diagnosed the problem, we're removing the problem, now get on with your life and that's, that's not right, you should get support afterwards. That area they're sadly lacking in I think.
