Wow! Thanks for that feedback @Growlcat. Great that you had the self-confidence to trust your instincts. When I had to have breast surgery, I asked my trusted GP who she would go to. Glad I did. Not confident in public health oncologist I was given, though. I procrastinate about changing, as I don't know if it'll be an improvement or the reverse. Out of interest, are there any oncology recommendations from public patients on NSW Central Coast? Use the private message if worried about using names. Thanks. L xxx
