Thanks romla. I actually am a patient at royal brisbane and womens hospital the leading womens hospital in qld. Im a public patient and received fabulous care from wonderful breast & plastic surgeons up till i had the mx and got the all clear.since then im obviously lower priority since lucky for me the cancer hadnt spread. I understand that. I never met with an oncologist but full team is there if deemed necessary. Not necessary in my case. I live on the sunshine coast it takes me over 2 hours to get in to briz. My last appt one week after exchange surgery i got up at 5 and got the train in then walked up to the hospital. At 12 pm i was one of the last still sitting in the waiting room when my surgeon rushed past in scrubs heading for the lifts. I asked him oh are u going and he looked at me like hed seen a ghost.he hadnt even known i was there. I started my journey at breastscreen and had 7 appointments there. From there to our sunshine coast hospital where i was just getting to know them when my plan changed from lx to mx after mri i requested. Local hospital didnt do immediate recon so they sent me on to brisbane i was just getting to know the nurses there when i became more a plastics patient. So i dont have any one thats been along the whole trip with me.this gp is new too. I have the my journey kit. Ive always asked lots of questions its just the answers have been a bit general. Anyway sorry to hijack the thread. I really was interested in this subject but have gone off track. Cheers v
