The rise of the new breed of Dr in the increasing market of BC
HI all, I didn't know what to call this but my story is to raise awareness and to alert you to what is happening out there. I am nearly 3 yrs into my Stage 1 diagnosis and regularly see my surgeon...
I haven't had any contact with my public BS after BC V2 once my wounds healed. The last time I made the effort to go to Melbourne to see him, i got "why are you here? Come back if something goes wrong." Which sounded sensible. The hospital keeps making appointments, which I keep deferring just to keep myself in there system so i can self refer back if I need to.
It is interesting how many treatment pathways there are, and how truncated they can become when you are in the public system. I self manage most of my care as the last episode involved 4 different medical services and there was no-one I could trust to do it. I get tests or scans if i think I need them either through my GP or my oncologist.
