What a great project! I will definitely participate this survey. I am newly diagnosed just one month ago. So far I had great experiences with the health system, I am very grateful that all the health professionals involved with my care have been amazingly supportive. From the minute my GP felt my lump, he picked up his phone made an appointment for an ultrasound which was done one hour later. After my ultrasound, the radiologist called and discussed with my GP , I had mammogram immediately. When I went back to my GP for the results 2 days later, my GP had already called breast clinic and faxed referrals. I was seen by a breast nurse and surgeon a few days later, then biopsy within 2 days and I had surgery one week after the biopsy. I was so grateful for everything rolled out so quickly, especially it was around the Christmas and new year.
I am a public patient. I know it can be frustrating with the waiting time for any appointment and procedures. There are definitely areas need to be changed, improved or initiated to provide the best practice and care for all the people diagnosed with BC.
Hope lots of people will participate this survey.
