It's interesting isn't it. I am a private patient and metastatic now. I was offered a registered nurse who is there for all cancer patients not just bc. I have heard from her once since my met diagnosis in July.
I had all my surgery, chemo through the Wesley hospital in Brisbane and my oncologist works there and her rooms are beside the chemo ward. The hospital also has the Kim Walters Choices program for all cancer patients. Kim Walters was the wife of a football player here in qld who died of cancer and set up this charity that the hospital.
Mostly breast cancer patients attend as it is a hospital that has a breast cancer speciality. They offer counselling, an advanced cancer support group, yoga, pilates, art classes, reiki and reflexology as well as some other things. It's all free for cancer patients and they also cover the parking to attend.
So I haven't found the need to contact the McGrath Foundation for a nurse with the support at the Wesley. My oncologist will always make herself available for questions too which is helpful for me.
