I was extremely low on iron and can’t take iron tablets. The NHS couldn’t help me quickly enough and I honestly feared for my life.
I had two iron infusions and now feel back to good health.
The staff , doctors and the nurse were second to none .
They suggested I get further checks done via my GP so as to find the reasons why I had such a dangerously low level .
My GP sent an urgent request to the hospital and I have just had an endoscopy, a colonoscopy and a CT scan and await the results.
None of this would have been possible to be completed within 4 weeks without Chequers help and advice.
Thank you for giving me my life back.
