@Fufan - that's good that you have more than one nurse available to you - we only have the one BC nurse for a huge area on the Mid North Coast ..... Maybe see if you can be referred to a different one, if you don't think this one is helping you enough?
As you've seen from previous comments (even back in 2018 at the start of this thread) ... everyone has had different experiences with their BC Nurse ... not all as good as everyone else's.
Yes, in a perfect world, there 'could be a list' of things that you should be advised of .... but along with all the other 'information overload' at first diagnosis, I think they drip feed you instead .....
If you look to the R/H side of the 'Discussion' page ... you'll see the heading 'Popular Tags' .... if there is one area that you want to explore, instead of using the 'search' function (on the Discussion Page) you can just click on those 'tags' ..... However, Not ALL conversations are 'tagged' tho, so sometimes, using the 'search function' will deliver more results ..... specially if looking for (eg) a particular type of chemo.
Take care & all the best for your chemo on the 17th ... plenty of tips in the 'chemotherapy tag' ...
