    Hi @Mandy_79

    You may also like to search for a surgeon via Cancer Council’s website Find a specialist and perhaps discuss with your GP, if someone is of specific interest.

    Please call our Helpline 1800 500 258 to order the My Care Kit when your surgery is coming up

    All the best finding the most suitable health professional to help you receive the best treatment, care and support. Please feel free to connect with us again anytime by phone or email helpline@bcna.org.au
  • Sorry to see you join us here, @Mandy_79. 

    Whilst waiting for someone from SA to jump on .... maybe consider joining the Choosing Breast Reconstruction Group and even the Flat Chat - No Breast Reconstruction groups here (they are Private Groups where questions can be asked in privacy):  https://onlinenetwork.bcna.org.au/groups

    Have you been assigned a Breast Care nurse yet? If not, go onto the Mcgrath website & check who is available in your area.  You may be able to ask her about surgeons in your area ... they cover 'all cancers' now, so you'll just need to add 'BC' .. and your post code!  😉

    Feel free to jump onto the Newly Diagnosed Category & fill us in on some more info on your diagnosis & any treatment, so far. ;)

    take care & all the best
