Hi my ( fabulous female) GP suggested I look at the BCNA website when she gave me my diagnosis.
The other great piece of advice she gave me was to take someone who cared about me ( in my case it was hubby) to my meeting with the breast cancer surgeon as I would likely not take everything in.
This was on the Tuesday and she had me booked in to see the breast Cancer surgeon on the Thursday.
To be honest I was in so much shock I wasn’t taking a lot in but I did have a brief look at the BCNA website as well as printing out the breast cancer brochure on the Cancer Council website.
I didn’t really have a good look at the BCNA website again until after my mastectomy and my breast care nurse at the hospital ( who I only saw the once) suggested it to me.
I have raised this before ( as has FLClover) but believe it would be good if more women were made aware of BCNA when they first get their diagnosis , not sure how to achieve this but if identifying a problem is the first step to finding the solution, I have done that.
