Rita HARRISON Obituary

HARRISON Rita 1940-2025 On behalf of my late wife, Rita Harrison.
She would like to thank the following doctors
Dr Tapping and Dr Ford.
The following hospitals – QEQM, Kent & Canterbury and William Harvey.

In March 2012, she had a bowel operation for cancer, performed by Mr Marzouk and his team, which was a success.
She then spent 5 days in intensive care and then in a week in cheerful sparrows, she was then told she would be discharged. On that week, she had a bleed and needed another operation.
After another week in cheerful sparrows, she came home and in less than a week she had to go back for another operation.
When she was in the Birchington Ward, Rita had 3 major operations, in 3 weeks.
In July 2012, she started Chemotherapy in the day unit until July 2013 and in the time she was in there, she had excellent care.
In 2016, she had an operation for breast cancer which was at QEQM performed by Miss Sharp and her team.
She then attended Kent & Canterbury hospital to the Oncology dept for Radiotherapy. She continued attending the Oncology dept under the care of Dr Thomas and Consultant Oncologist Dr Nikiforidis, up until she passed away.
She attended the William Harvery Hospital in Maxillofacial dept, due to contracting Osteonecrosis and was under the care of Mr Tighe and he oversaw the Maxillofacial dept.
At all times she had received excellent care and can not thank the team enough for everything they had done.
Through this care from 2012 - 2025, Rita had these extra 13 years.
