I believe that every woman affected by cancer needs to feel personally supported and be given access to the best treatment methods that are currently available. My goal is to deliver the highest quality of medical care while focusing on your overall quality of life and to make the entire process of your treatment, being diagnosed with cancer or a benign condition, as smooth and as stress free as possible.

I am a clinical specialist in the treatment of gynaecological pre-cancers, cancers and complex non-cancer gynaecological conditions. I am dedicated to improving the quality of life for women with gynaecological conditions by providing the highest quality of diagnosis, treatment and recovery pathways in a caring and supporting environment.

I understand that it can be anxious and frightening time for you and your loved ones when you have been referred for treatment regarding a possible gynaecological cancer.You can often feel overwhelmed and anxious after a diagnosis of cancer and these are all normal feelings. However, please note that the majority of patients with gynaecological cancers are cured of their disease.

It is important for you to understand your condition and how it will be treated. I believe that understanding your condition and being fully informed of all your treatment options can be very empowering. I will address your anxieties at the outset and discuss the likely outcomes in an open and informative way.

I schedule our consultation with enough time to explain your treatment plan so that you and your loved ones will be fully informed. We welcome your family and friends to be with you during your consultation if you feel this is would be helpful for you.

If you do not understand any aspect of your treatment plan, I encourage you to ask questions during our consultation or email me with any queries that you or your loved ones might have regards your treatment. In most circumstances I can provide you with literature to reiterate what we have discussed. Some high-quality Internet sites regarding gynaecological cancers can be found at www.nci.nih.gov, www.uptodate.com/patients, and www.gcsau.org.

I will ensure that you receive an individualized treatment plan that will give you the best possible chance to be cured or to put you back in control of your particular condition.

I have a special interest in providing minimally invasive surgical options for my patients whenever possible, including laparoscopic procedures, and also to preserve your fertility where possible.
