Scared !!!
Hi, I have just been diagnosed with Stage 1 Breast Cancer. Im so scared, wanting so many questions answered.....
Does anyone know if I'll need Radiation or Chemo? How will it effect my husband an...
My surgeon is Diana Hastrich at The Mount Medical Centre and radiation oncologist is Yvonne Zissiadis at Perth Radiation Oncology in Wembley. What I love about Dr Hastrich is that she doesn't beat around the bush and comes across quite gung-ho in a positive way. She has a good sense of humour but I guess that may not appeal to everyone during times like this. It works for me though! Also, I previously had a bad experience with a male specialist at SJOG Murdoch Hospital when I was in being treated for a breast infection and he certainly didn't have a gentle touch or manner about him. It put me off ever having a male medical professional ever touching my breasts again and I have since sourced only female surgeons/specialists. Glad to hear you have managed to source someone you are more comfortable with and all the best.
