Cancer Centre open !
The new Cancer Centre at Guy ’ s opened to its first patients last September , thanks to our wonderful supporters .
An amazing £ 6m has been donated by philanthropists , and more than 3,000 generous patients , families , supporters and staff raised an incredible £ 1.1million to make the Cancer Centre a reality .
The phased opening saw outpatient clinics begin first , followed by chemotherapy treatment in October and radiotherapy in November .
The centre has been designed by patients for patients and brings together most of our cancer services under one roof .
Reaching out to cancer patients
Many of you recently sent inspiring messages of support for patients being treated at the new Cancer Centre . Thank you – here are just a few .
You are not alone and we ’ re all behind you – the hospital staff , your friends and family , researchers and fundraisers . Keep fighting and never give up !
Guy ’ s has given me many years more to be with my wife and family . I have just attended my grandson ’ s graduation ceremony ; unbelievable – when I was diagnosed he was only 11 years old !
Five generations of my family have received marvellous care from Guy ’ s Hospital .
