Another sister reporting for duty

Hi Linda, so sorry to hear you have joined us, but hang in there as there is lots of support on this group. My experience has taught me to be very assertive about my health care and be a strong advocate for what was planned for me . I met the McGrath nurse when I met the surgeon and, going forward, most of my contact has been by phone..they are extremely short staffed in some areas. There will be some people on here who have more experience with DCIS-I had a small one but also had a larger tumour which was invasive and that became the primary focus for treatment.  Not sure if you are going through the public system or not as that sometimes plays a role on appointment times...keep a diary!!!  I think it's being out of control that is really difficult at times so my days became focussed on events for that day that I was in control..Wishing you positive thoughts and hope things become more settled..
