You’ve probably heard the term ‘treatment team’ but what does it actually mean?
A treatment team may include a medical oncologist, radiation oncologist, specialist surgeon, oncology/chemotherapy nurse, breast care nurses and your general Practitioner (GP). The team meets regularly to manage your personalised treatment plan and ongoing care.
Your medical team is often comprised of a group of professionals who you don’t know and who come into your life at short notice, in a highly stressful and emotional time.
If you need help navigating relationships with your medical team, check out our podcast ‘Forged in fire: relationships with your medical team and self-advocacy' Forged in fire: you, your medical team and self-advocacy
