One of the things I've noticed since I've been on this forum are various discussions about Breast Care Nurses - who has one, what do they do, whether they're helpful or not, how to access one... etc, ...
Yes @sister - such a variety of experiences we seem to have with breast care nurses; from disappointing, to hurtful, to MIA, to staunch advocate, to co-ordinator of services, to provider of timely information, to provider of loving support. I was lucky enough to be at the positive end of the spectrum. Perhaps one of our BCNA colleagues could explain the funding of breast care nurses; and if the differences in funding may lead to the difference in experiences?
