It is true to say that without Mr Jenkinson I wouldn't be where I am now - I am just 6 weeks out from a total gastrectomy (performed by Mr Jenkinson's colleague Prof Mughal), and doing so well I would never have thought this possible. I am a complicated case with a recent history of several abdominal surgeries, and when I just wasn't getting better I was referred by a previous surgeon to Mr Jenkinson for his high level of skill in this area and his ability to take on more complicated cases. After suffering for years and seeing so many different medical professionals, it was Mr Jenkinson who was able to diagnose me. He quickly arranged some treatment then tests, and his diagnosis was confirmed, a gastrectomy was the only way forward. I am so grateful to have met him and I can't express my thanks adequately enough; without his diagnosis and the subsequent surgery, I would be in real trouble now. Yet thanks to him I am now starting a new life and am already starting to do and plan things I haven't been able to do for a long time. He is truly a most excellent surgeon. Thankyou Andrew for everything.
