Dear Mr Huang. As you will be very well aware hearing that you have cancer isn’t the greatest news you will ever receive but the speed with which you accommodated me, first for the initial consultation and then for the operation itself was greatly appreciated, even more so when you promised to carry out the procedure yourself. 

Please accept my deepest thanks for the marvellous work you performed as I now realise that due to the positioning of the cancer, it was clearly not an easy procedure however through your wonderful skill the outcome will be so much better. Hopefully the upcoming chemotherapy will go to plan and I can then fully recover ready for the stoma reversal operation which I hope can be carried out as early as possible. 

I hope you will accept this small token given with my heartfelt appreciation.
