Mostly USA data but what's your experience?

Yes @LucyE I agree we all deserve the best treatment as do all sufferers of cancer.  I had a part team approach with my cancer diagnosis with the breast surgeon, oncologist and radiation oncologist, and found BCNA by myself through the packs given out by Breastscreen. I also found Cancer Support Sisters here on the Gold Coast and they have some wonderful PEOPLE (male and female) doing some great things.   The building I attended for radiation and oncology visits and breast surgeon also houses radiology and blood testing companies and many others, it would be wonderful if all the TEAM could be referred to one another through the process from diagnosis to after treatment care.  But maybe a bridge too far.  I would like to work on a few of these ideas ONCE my all clear is given early next month.  Until then I am a little too self focused waiting to have the blood tests and visits to oncologist and surgeon for the 6 month mark.  Meditation, relaxation, exercise, diet, mental HEALTH are all SOOO important and the support groups.  IMAGINE if these were all part of the process how many more people would possibly heal themselves because of all the help and support they received and gave themselves.  I know I have fallen off the self-help wagon recently and am finding it very difficult to cope waiting for these tests and yet I know if I get back to doing what I need to it will help not only pass the time but also give the calm and peace I need to complete the fight.
