    I am a brain tumour survivor and without all the staff at The Walton Centre my operation and recovery would not have been possible. My surgery and the level of care I received was outstanding. I couldn't be more grateful for you all. The biggest thanks to Miss Gilkes and Mr Jawad Yousaf, my surgeons. Wow, I don't have enough words to express my thanks and appreciation for you and all the team, you are absolute miracle workers, and true earth angels.
