With quiet strength and immense gratitude, Mackay man Les Hastie faced the toughest chapter of his life, battling both severe kidney disease and pancreatic cancer. Through every hospital visit and round of treatment, it was the steadfast love of his family and the compassionate care of Mackay Base Hospital staff that carried him through.
After his passing in March and as part of his family’s healing journey, his wife Wendy and daughter Renae visited the palliative care and renal unit teams to present a token of their appreciation for his dedicated and excellent care.
“Dad had been a regular patient at the Mackay Hospital and Health Service (HHS) over the last couple of years receiving care for his stage four kidney disease and more recently pancreatic cancer,” Renae said.
“As part of the healing process, my Mum wanted to show her thanks to the two main teams he received care from; the palliative care team and the renal unit support team under Dr Wu.
“We were able to visit both teams and deliver a little thank you basket of treats as well as get some photos with the staff.
“Throughout Dad’s health journey, he also received excellent care and support through ED, F2 and G0 and we wanted to say thank you and highlight the wonderful work the clinical staff here are doing for their patients and also their carers.”
