I WOULD like to say thank you for a fantastic NHS. Over the past few years I have been having blood tests to detect prostate cancer at Great Harwood Health Centre.

This year I was found to have early stages of prostate cancer.

From having a vigilant GP to the surgeons and everybody involved in my treatment and recovery after my operation on urology Ward 2 of Blackburn Infirmary my treatment was second to none. I couldn't have got better treatment if I'd have gone private. What a fantastic NHS we have.
