Not Diagnosed yet

We are lucky in Hobart there isn’t really a waitlist! I’m public and it has all happened very quickly for me. I was diagnosed 18/09/17 My symptoms were a bruiselike pain in my left breast, 4 days later I felt a lump then a wk later a painful lump in my armpit (I was on holiday overseas at the time so couldn’t get the breast lump checked until 2 wks later). Drs day I arrived home, ultrasound/mammogram/biopsy 2 days later (a Thursday) with Lynne Brothers at Women’s Imaging (highly recommend she’s a straight talker) results following Mon, IVF clinic next day (I’m 31) then started chemo the next month with Louise Nott. Surgery booked for May 18 with Luke Rayner then I’ll have radiation with Marketa Skala in June. There is a “best practice” timeline for everything as well as an “acceptable practice” timeline so even as a public patient they aim for those and rarely cannot make it (although Drs leave and public holidays do impact) I must add I am a radiation therapist at the Royal so do have a little insider knowledge how how it works. Hope that helps and again feel free to ask, we are all here to support each other x
