Hi I have been recently diagnosed with breast cancer I have had a partial mastectomy and sentinel lymph node biopsy. I am wondering about radiation therapy. Where this is available in Adelaide.

  • Hi Audrina and memyselfI, Thank you greatly for this information. It's good to read such positive news. I'm wondering how I will go as I live about 2 hours out of adel. I don't really want to drive home every day, that would make it maybe a five hour trip. Therefore I think I will choose to stay in adel. I go in Friday to get my results, and will know more about my treatment then. And I'm sure the BCN will discuss where it is available. Please keep in contact. Thank you Juli
  • Hi Juli. I had mine at St Andrews Hospital on South Terrace how ever I would have thought your breast team would be giving you that advise. My mum had hers radio at Flinders Private. I think you can also have it at the Tennyson Centre on South Road at Kurralta Park. I had the same op and now 7 years on am fit and healthy. I hope this helps you. Good luck. Contact me if you need any more help. Regards Audi.
