“Ms Ntakomyti has been absolutely amazing throughout this whole process - very kind, very clear in the way she explains things and she gives the impression that she really does care and has been committed to ensuring that my scans and treatment went as smoothly as possible. She also did such a good job cosmetically with my lumpectomy that two successive oncologists had to ask me which breast had been operated on! I’m incredibly grateful to her and feel very lucky that I got put on her list”.
