All the tests and scans

I had all the scans and tests, and I am glad I did. The first few weeks and months, with so many appointments, were overwhelming. It is better to get used to this system of treatments, tests, scans, mammograms, ultrasounds, etc. I felt the same as you at the beginning, Rachelz, worried about why my breast surgeon requested all these scans. However, this online network and these amazing women helped me understand that it is a normal part of breast cancer treatment. From day one, I had trust in my medical team, including the McGrath nurses who have been so supportive. This network, along with BCNA resources, podcasts, and My Journey, was invaluable. I cut everyone else out as they were not helpful because they had not gone through this journey. I took six months of sick leave to go through all the scans and other appointments, spend time on the BCNA website browsing, and get as much information as I could. I almost listened to all of Dr. Charlotte Tottman's podcasts. Podcasts (bcna.org.au)
