My husband was diagnosed recently, and Dr Sumit Lumba gave us such clear explanations and a reassuring plan. The team at Tweed Hospital made the chemo days a bit easier, and I appreciated the honest talk about radiation therapy options. Highly recommend for anyone facing cancer in the Tweed Heads area.
From the first consult in Tweed Heads, I felt understood. Dr Lumba took time to answer my questions in English and made sure my family was included in the discussion about palliative care and symptom management. It’s a relief to have a sports-obsessed local doctor who genuinely cares.
The care in the oncology unit at Tweed Hospital has been outstanding. Dr Lumba explains treatment options without jargon and respects your pace. The chemotherapy sessions and follow-ups have been well coordinated, which has taken a lot of stress off my mum.
I live in Banora Point and travel to Tweed Heads for my chemotherapy. Dr Lumba and the team are punctual, professional and compassionate. It’s comforting to know I can access comprehensive cancer care and palliative support in our region.
Grateful for Dr Lumba’s approach to my dad’s cancer treatment. He took the time to outline the treatment plan and the potential side effects of both radiation therapy and chemotherapy. The English-Hindi translations helped our family understand everything clearly.
Relieved to have a medical oncologist who listens. Dr Lumba coordinated my care at Tweed Hospital, and the palliative care team has been supportive beyond expectations. Would recommend to anyone in the Tweed area needing specialised cancer care.
I’m from Cabarita Beach and felt well cared for during my treatment journey. Dr Lumba explained the chemotherapy plan and the radiation therapy options in a calm, respectful way. The whole experience has been positive and the team is great.
