L-R HOLDING CHEQUE: SANDRA STRACHAN, ALISON INGLIS AND ANGUS STRACHAN WITH STAFF FROM CHEMOTHERAPY DAYUNIT.

Golden gift for chemotherapy day unit

An Angus couple has donated £565 to the chemotherapy day unit on ward 32 at Ninewells Hospital.

Angus and Sandra Strachan from Forfar celebrated their golden wedding anniversary in March and instead of gifts they invited their friends and family to donate money to the chemotherapy day unit.

Angus said, “Our daughter had breast cancer and received treatment there so we wanted to do something nice to say thank you to the staff who helped look after our daughter.”

Accepting the cheque, senior charge nurse Alison Inglis said, “I would like to thank Angus and Sandra for their generous donation to benefit our service. This is very much appreciated and will help enhance the comfort for our patients.”
