    Written by a NHS patient at Leeds General Infirmary

    I am on my first day out of hospital having surgery by Mr Sinha on the 27th April so just 1 week ago. My procedure was the removal of a spinal tumour which was found by accident 18th the ago when investigating for something completely unrelated so initially I had minimal related symptoms and Me Sinha’s advice was to vomit or the tumour with frequent MRI scans. Unfortunately on my latest scan the tumour had grown quite rapidly and had also changed appearance on the scan and so the choice was made to remove the tumour. Mr Sinha gave all pros and cons to the removal of the tumour and at the time some of the pros were really quite scary and overwhelming especially being only 33 and having 2 children aged 11 and younger. My pain had gone from zero to 100 in less than 3 months and so I made the decision to go ahead. One week post surgery I have zero pain other than the surgery pain which with steady recovery will fade. All nerve pain prior to the surgery has gone and I spent my first night sleeping in my bed rather than the sofa. Mr Sinha is my hero and I cannot thank him enough for giving me my life back. Initial tests indicate the tumour was benign but I will know for sure in a few days. Mr Sinha is the kindest but yet says it how it is and doesn’t sugar coat any of the bad stuff giving you honesty but making him trustworthy. He visited me everyday after my surgery while I was in hospital and was always interested in how my family was coping as well as me. Do not hesitate to use Mr Sinha. Myself and my family cannot thank him enough.
