Breast Care Nurses
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, ...
My breast care nurse through St Vincent’s hospital in Sydney is awesome. She came to see me at my pre-admission appointment then several times in hospital after my DMX surgery. She ordered the My Journey kit and bra for me and made sure I had my drain bags and zonta pillows. She took a base-line lymph drainage reading and gave me info about lymphodaema and lymphatic massage and has phoned me once a week since I left hospital - that was 4 weeks ago. I can ask her anything and she’s only too happy to help. An angel on earth :)
