I was diagnosed not long before visiting Prof Clingan at Southern Cancer Institute in Wollongong. He explained my treatment options clearly and helped me feel hopeful again. The chemotherapy plan was well coordinated with his team, and I felt supported every step of the way.
Prof Clingan took the time to listen to my concerns about side effects and nutrition. His advice on dietary changes while undergoing treatment made a big difference, and the palliative care options discussed gave me and my family real peace of mind.
From the first appointment at 57 Urunga Parade, I felt I was in capable hands. The team at Wollongong were supportive, and the symptom management approach helped manage the ups and downs of my cancer journey.
I’m grateful for Prof Clingan’s clear explanations about chemotherapy and what to expect. The medical team was kind, professional and kept us informed, which made the whole process feel more manageable.
As someone living in the Wollongong area, it was reassuring to have a specialist who also considers nutrition as part of cancer care. The nutritional counseling helped me stay stronger during treatment.
Relieved to find a oncologist who balances treatment with compassionate palliative care planning. Prof Clingan and the team truly focus on the patient’s quality of life in Sydney’s southern corridor.
I highly recommend Prof Clingan. His thorough approach to cancer screening, chemotherapy, and ongoing symptom management gave my family confidence that we were in the right hands here in Wollongong.
