I had a bcn who visited me in hospital and a week later sat in with me on my first oncology appointment so that I would fully understand everything. She made sure I was getting info and anything else related to my next step. I then bumped into her now and then at the therapy centre I do know that she is only a phone call away. Also being a McGrath foundation bcn she is one of a few. The only way there will be more is through donations to the McGrath foundation to sponsor these nurses. My bcn covers a huge area. As I have been managing reasonably well and not really needing her I like to think that it frees her up to see people who really do need her. Like I said, she is always only a phone call away.
