I live in Sydney Metro in the Hills District. It would be very much appreciated if anyone knew some good oncologists, plastic surgeons etc for afterwards
Thank you so very much for all of your stories! I don't feel so alone anymore.
All your stories have helped me with some decision making and has made me really question my Dr’s intentions. She has offered me the public hospital where she said that it can be done for free but she cannot guarantee it’ll be her that’s doing the surgery. So each and every time she’s said that it confuses us because it’s like she offers it but not with her doing it so we rather not risk the chance and just go private.
I've decided to proceed as usual with widening the margin but I did question my doctor about MRI and why I am not having one. Apparently the MRI won't pick up the cancer cells right now because it'll only pick up the current scarring. I'm wondering why she didn't offer this in the first place. How was I to know that I am supposed to get this done first or I would had suggested it. She used my Mammogram as a diagnostic tool.
Wish me luck on Tuesday 29th! That's when I go in for the second time and fingers xx'd they get it all.
