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, ...

Mmmm....Cancer Council volunteers!!!
Scene: 2 people in a room having I.V. chemo, one Cancer Council volunteer.
The volunteer spent the entire time (nearly two hours) talking to the other person. At no time did she acknowledge that I was there, nor did the other person in the room. I had met the volunteer previously, but I didn't tell her anything about me. She had told me her complete medical history. I didn't say anything because they were talking so quickly and intently.
When I had finished for the day, I excused myself as I walked between the volunteer and the other patient. Still no acknowledgement, just a grunt.
Oh, the stories I could tell....
