Andy was the kindest, bravest man and was my soulmate. When Andy relapsed in 2019, his care was transferred to specialists at St Bartholomew's hospital where we were first introduced to the Maggies centre. We had always felt that we wouldn’t need support of this nature and could cope, but we were strongly encouraged to try it by his oncology team. It is described as being the ‘home of cancer care’ and that is exactly what it became. Maggies was initially just a tranquil space where we could wait for appointments and chemotherapy and have a cup of tea . It is an architecturally beautiful building which appealed to Andy's love of design. Over time though it became a huge help to us. We walked in and the team knew our story and offered us wonderful understanding and an outlet. It was also a space that I could work whilst waiting for him thus keeping the wheels turning at home. We met other patients going through similar journeys. It really became one of our parachute strings and even after his death it continues to help me and Andy’s family. Thank you for visiting his tribute page.
