Being diagnosed with cancer is daunting, but Dr Abell took the time to explain chemotherapy options and what to expect during radiation therapy. I felt supported every step of the way here in Gateshead, and her team made my treatment path feel clear and doable.
I’m from Charlestown and was nervous about starting chemotherapy. Dr Abell listened carefully to my concerns and helped coordinate symptom management so I could get back to loving my mornings on Lake Macquarie. Highly relieving to have such thoughtful care nearby.
Excellent oncologist who explained every potential side effect and what support is available. The palliative care and supportive services in Gateshead have been a huge comfort during this tough time.
From the initial cancer screenings to ongoing treatment, Dr Abell has been nothing but patient and professional. The team keeps you informed, and the treatment plan feels personalised rather than generic.
I appreciated how Dr Abell checked in on my quality of life during radiation therapy and adjusted symptom management as needed. It’s rare to find a doctor who truly cares about you as a person, not just a patient.
Living in Gateshead, I was grateful for a local specialist who coordinates chemotherapy with practical advice about day-to-day life. The team made a challenging period feel a bit more manageable and hopeful.
Dr Abell’s clear explanations and supportive approach helped me feel grounded during my treatment journey. The combination of cancer screenings, chemotherapy, and ongoing palliative care in Newcastle NSW has been a real comfort.
