Alone ... finding a surgeon
On the day I was given my biopsy results I was on my own. Apparently, it was the first day in 2022 that patients were allowed a support person when receiving pathology results ....but noone told me....
Hi there
I had a great ( female) GP who recommended a breast cancer surgeon - I said “ would you go to him if you had breast cancer”? She said “ definately”. Also she said she had referred many of her other patients to him and got excellent feedback about him.
That was good enough for me.

I went as a private patient and was very happy with my care and he recommended my plastic surgeon ( I had reconstruction), radiation oncologist and oncologist.
All were excellent as was the private hospital I went to.
But beware of out of pocket expenses , mine were steep but I would still do it again.
