Bradley, who underwent six months of treatment during what was to be one of the hottest summers on record, said: “I couldn’t believe the heat.
“We were all struggling – nurses and patients alike. It was so uncomfortable to sit in the chairs and have chemo in these conditions.”
Meanwhile, Marshall said: “The nurses were incredible, continuing to care for patients with calm professionalism despite the stifling heat.”
Bradley, an area retail manager, and Marshall, an executive leader, met for the first time when they visited the ward to present their respective donations.
They have since become good friends and are planning a joint fundraising event to provide further support for cancer patients in the region.
Ben Petts, from the hospital charity, added: “Rose and Liam have used their experiences of being patients to support an addition that will benefit many more patients in the future.
“To be able to combine their fundraising achievements for the same goal is wonderful and we give our absolute thanks.”
