HI @Caroline71 I went through Townsville last year. Am so sorry you have to be here. I found Townsville hospital great. They have specialist breast surgeons and 3 full time breast care nurses so you will have heaps of support. I had 3 surgeries last year as well as chemo in between the 2nd and 3rd surgery. If you need to know anything you can send me a PM any time. Also while I went through it all I was approached by Audreys Angels based in Ingham it is a fantastic support system and we all meet up once a month.
All the best with everything and any questions just fire away. I went public the whole way and had the same surgeon for 3 surgeries as well as the same wonderful oncologist. Big hugs xo
