The food at pinderfields is lovely. I stayed 2 weeks and the only meal i didnt enjoy was the sunday lunch. (The beef was tough). I absolutely loved the jacket potatoes and cheese! But!! Since coming home, i have learned from my nurse that potato skins should be avoided for a while! Once i was allowed off my liquid only diet, jackets were on my menu at least once a day. I am not wanting to complain! But on those wards, surely they should let the patients know that they should not eat the skins.

After a period of post menopausal bleeding I was referred to pinderfields under the 2 week cancer pathway! I was seen by the team and given a trans vaginal scan and was told my lining was thickened and I would need a biopsy. I had a biopsy done which was painless and a cervical polyp removed at the same time which I also found quite bareable. I waited about 3 weeks for the results and was told the polyp was benign and only benign polyp material was found on the womb biopsy so I was to have a hysteroscopy with a myosure procedure to remove any polyps. I was then taken of the 2 week pathway and awaited my appointment which changed quite a few times over the next few months.When my appointment finally arrived I had stupidly read some reviews of the hysteroscopy about it been barbaric and invasive and as I was having it awake, I was petrified.I really don’t know why! The dr and his team were lovely, explained what was happening and I can truthfully say it was no worse than a smear! I had local anaesthetic in my cervix and didn’t feel that either! Only thing I felt was pressure and barely any pain at all! All in all it was quite painless other than pressure and a strange feeling of water inside! I would not worry if I had to have another!
