bumped for hipchick
May or may not be here on 2nd June. Bummer. (Still in land of living but plan to go to France for a couple of day in half term, don’t know when yet). Is the meeting in the pub near Leeds Castle? Promise I’ll turn up if I’m here as it would be great to meet others inthis area. I travelled to Reading yesterday from Maidstone to meet some great people from her. Also having Strawberry tea for BCC at my place in Sutton Valence 10.30 Tuesday 7th June. PM me for address if you’d like to come and bring some pals. I’m goin to wear a pinny, may wear socks too.
I am in Kent, but a bit further up in Orpington!
the next maidstone meet up is this thursday if anyone interested?
Sorry to highjack your thread but I hope you ladies of Kent can help with this. I have a friend who has had her sugery at Canterbury but is now moving to Maidstone. She can either have her radiotherapy at Canterbury or transfer to Maidstone (which would be much more convenient). However she’s a bit unsure about changing hospitals. Has anyone any experience of the rads dept at Maidstone (or Canterbury) to help her decide? Many thanks girls.
Hi highball, I had treatment at medway hospital and then chemo and radiotherapy at maidstone. The radiotherapy department were excellent and most days I was in and out in about 20 minutes. Twice there was a delay and I was phoned at home and told to leave later so I didnt waste any time waiting. The staff where lovely and very caring. The downside was the parking which was free to cancer patients but always busy!
Thanks Jaclyn, I really appreciate your reply - that’s very encouraging!
Maidstone Radiotherapy dept was excellent! I cannot praise them highly enough. I actually missed it when my treatment was over
I had all my treatment at Maidstone and cant praise them enough, and yes, I actually missed the rads department too! I had most of my appts early morning, and had no problems with the parking then. Can highly recommend this hospital.

HI there
I finished Rads at Maidstone this week and I too had a good experience. Only had a couple of delays over the 5 weeks I was there, but mostly I was in and out in 20 mins. Car parking is horrendous, especially around 2-3pm and 1030 - 12 ish (tues/wed are worse??). I found a space round the back of the hospital next to the mobile scanning machines at busy times. Car parking isn’t free it’s £1.80 for a weekly ticket.
HOpe this helps

Really appreciate you taking the time to reply ladies, have passed all this positive stuff onto my friend. She’ll be able to walk from where she’s moving to so won’t need to cope with the parking (just as well by the sound of it!)
