” I nearly didn’t go because I thought I didn’t need it. In hindsight, that would have been one of the worst decisions I’ve ever made.”

Christina Clemenson

“I feel compelled to share my journey and highlight the incredible work of the Mary How Trust.”

Martin Scampion

” This letter is a thank you to all at the Mary How Trust, as you very much helped save my life. “

“The screening was conducted really well and the staff were lovely. I was incredibly pleased with the format the results came in and that they link with my GP records. Thank you so much. My husband had his screening and was diagnosed with prostate cancer (aged 48) so thanks to your services and the early detection this has saved his life. He was months away from the cancer being spread and potentially a stage 4 diagnosis.”

“We are incredibly fortunate to have such a facility on our doorstep here in Pulborough. My thanks to all the team at the Mary How Trust – we are so lucky to have you.”

Sue Blackman

“I was able to have the treatment I needed even before I developed symptoms.”

Ian Mills

“I’d never have known about my heart without your health screening. I’m a big fan of the Mary How Trust.”

“Confirmed Neuroendocrine tumour on pancreas and waiting for surgery to remove mass on right ovary as unable to say what it is from images so needs to be tested for cancer.
I greatly appreciate the screening you did as I was unaware I had the tumour on my pancreas and the mass on my ovary. I did not and do not have any symptoms so early diagnosis has been a privilege.”

Jane Goossens

“My health screening discovered a kidney tumour. Thanks to you I can now concentrate on my new business”

David Priscott

“I sometimes think that it might have been a very different story if I had not had my check up at the Mary How Trust. Thank you, thank you, thank you.”

Amir Baz

“Thanks to the Mary How Trust, I’m looking forward to a future without pain.”

“Early-stage colon cancer. Thank you! I was asymptomatic and I signed up for testing out of curiosity. Without the trust, I may have gone on to live with the cancer growing and resulting in a more scarier diagnosis. The work done by this trust is invaluable”
