28 unsure on what treatment plan to take
I’m 28 I was diagnosed on the 11th of November 2019. I’m living in Busselton and being treated in Bunbury but have to go to Perth for some appointments. I don’t know the lingo as it’s all very fresh. ...
Hi @Tamlyn. How big was your tumour? I ask because the Oncotype test is about $5000, but if your tumour is smaller there's a different test which is about $3000.
It is ghastly being diagnosed this time of year. It happened to me two years ago (dx 4/12), and "abandoned" is exactly the word I used. Everyone disappeared. I had woundcare questions and no one to ask, huge decisions to make and no one to talk them over with. So you have my sympathy!
Is there anyone at all in your oncologist or surgeon's office who you can ask about who to speak to in their absence? I'm with @primek, contact Perth Hospital, or maybe try the McGrath Foundation forca breastcare nurse who maybe able to help.
@JJ70 @suburbangirl, would you have any advice for @Tamlyn?
Keep in touch here. There's always someone who can help. Big hug, K xox
