An unexpected birthday surprise

Hi @AlliD, from reading lots of posts on here, I get the impression that doctors aren't always the best at giving this news. I count myself lucky that I was diagnosed through the breast screening service in Darwin, and the news was given to me by a doctor and nurse, along with information and reassurance. Hopefully your experiences will be better now you are in the system. I found the early stages of appointments, scans etc the most stressful. Once all that was done and I had a treatment plan mapped out for me I felt much more in control. Everyone up here has been great, and the McGrath nurses have been so helpful, answering questions and helping arrange appointments, and attending my first oncologist appointment. If you have access to a McGrath nurse you should contact them. All the best with your ongoing treatment. Katie
