Marianne, thanks for your reply. 1st off the webcast was excellent and so informative. I did repeat my question last night, which was answered to a degree.
The reason for my question was the experience of being told my diagnosis and then a blank stare from the doctor and nothing else. Nothing, zilch.
It's always annoyed me and I wondered if I could make a difference so that others wouldn't have the same or a similar experience.
The surgeon on the webcast brought up several good points that would have helped greatly had I known before I left the surgery.
After seeing the webcast and the information it covered, it will be a blessing to newly diagnosed patients who have so many unanswered questions in those first few days. But that would only happen if they know about it.
In a busy practise I can't see a GP looking up on the internet for information to help someone. Handing over a pamphlet with a pointer to the BCNA webcast and a few other relevant facts would be so helpful.
I've found BCNA my one and only place to go to.
Regards
