Hi @Fufan,
Thats a very good question, it all depends on the nurse that you get and where you live,also if they are full time or partime also if they are city based or rural, they are there to give you emotional support, to answer any questions you may have, they are there to advocate on your behalf should you need anything,the one thing most people dont know is that it is a referral based organisation, you have to contact them,so please ring her with any concerns you have, you might be pleasantly surprised,I have had a McGrath nurse for 7years now, well 2 of them one retired,and they only worked part time and had a large area to cover, however they were always only a phone call away,always trying to do the best they could in a very time consuming job,I knew that if I had a question or just needed to talk to someone they would be there or would ring me back, I had the mobile home numbers of both of my nurses and knew that I would be able to call on them if an emergency cropped up, they under go a lot of training to ensure that they are up to date with everything breast cancer,they might not be able to be there all of the time but they sure do try, give them a ring and ask away.
