    Hi Marianne, yes I do have a question.
    How can we make it possible for every doctor in Australia, to have at their fingertips, an information pamphlet to give to a client who they have just told, has breast cancer.?
    From experience, and not mine alone, there is a gap after diagnosis, up until you see a surgeon that sends one's mind into a very dark place due to lack of information. This could then have a detrimental effect on how someone mentally progresses through treatment.
