Celia shared with us how coming to Teesside Hospice has been a godsend in helping her journey with Bowel Cancer…
“My name’s Ceclia and I’m here at Teesside Hospice because I have bowel cancer. It was my Macmillan nurse's idea to come into the hospice, and at first I thought I wouldn’t be able to, and I couldn’t believe my luck when I got the chance to come in.
I was very apprehensive at first, but once I got here and saw the place, it seemed to have a calming feel about it that I couldn’t believe.
When I got told what complementary therapies were available here, I decided I wanted to have a pamper week. I’ve had my feet massaged, my hair washed and blowdried, and a head and shoulder massage which was amazing. When I came out of the therapy room I felt like I was walking on air!
There’s not enough words to express my thanks to the hospice. Thank you is such a small word, but if you mean it in your heart, I hope the nurses realise how grateful I am.
5 stars from me!"
