My brother-in-law was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer two-and-a-half years before he succumbed.
During that period I spent weeks and sometimes months at a time with him, and have witnessed how he was supported through difficult times by his family, friends and by Wendy Fields, who supervised the care he received.
I have been very much impressed by her acute sense of observation, her gentle but decisive way of caring, and by the broad range of her experience which consistently helped to relax the sometimes stressful situations.
I have seen that her clear vision lead to noticeable improvements in his condition throughout the long illness.
I feel that my brother-in-law Richard, himself a surgeon who actively investigated any possibility to stand a better chance in his fight for life, has had the best possible support and guidance by Wendy throughout his ordeal.
