MY 4 WEEKS STAY AT St JAMES HOSPITAL LEEDS

[barlicker]

I have just finished my four weeks Radiotherapy treatment at Leeds. They allowed me to stay in a quiet corner of one the smaller car parks so I had some trees and grass to look at and my dog could have a pee. I can't thank the staff and management enough, they bent over backwards to make sure I was looked after. I am now back near Lancaster where I am lucky enough to have piece of land to stay on ( I live in my van full time) and recuperate.

There seems to be a few hospitals which will accommodate motohomes if it's in patients best interest. Not sure how they get around the parking charges, but it's good to know.

It makes all the difference, you have had to go through something and they had reached out and helped you.

Chemo I know and the second time some Immunotherapy

Parking is free for those having radio therapy at Jimmy's.

Did you ring the bell opposite the reception desk.

Well done you!

Hope you're keeping safe, glad the treatment is behind you, as I bet you will be!

As others have already said if you need help with anything just shout, there will be folk not too far away who should be willing & able to assist

Makes me very proud of OUR NHS in which my wife and I have a cumulative service time of 75 years most of it in Leeds

The Freeman in Newcastle did the same with us. My brother was dying so they called us when on hols. Drove back overnighted in the car park. We got free passes and security told to leave us alone. Top people. Stay safe and well and enjoy the time chillin in the motorhome.

The hospital where I had my cancer treatment had a monthly ticket for £25 entitled you to as much parking as you needed.

 

[DnK]

I live in Lancaster so if you need help don't hesitate to give us a shout. Good to see the Yorkies let you ave summet fur nowt lol

 

[Sharon the Cat]

So good to hear that they were so thoughtful. If you had parked at Hereford hospital for that long you would have owned half the building in parking charges.

Very pleased for the OP and best wishes for a full recovery.
As others have posted It is great to read of those places who easily accommodate those such as @barlicker
Long live the NHS I say.
Ok at times it can be a bit cumbersome But Hospitals are "complicated places" with all the medical stuff and direct ancilliary staff.
Then there is the housekeeping and cleaning and food

 

[barlicker]

I would like to say thank you to all those that have replied to my post and given their best wishes it makes a difficult time more bearable, thank you again Ian
