First diagnosis and the waiting game

I would call it a "Duty of care" and there must be a way to notify the Board of Medicine that there is a Medical person who is unprofessional and uncaring.  Can you change doctor?  My GP told me, and I hardly knew him.  He didnt handle any of it from there on, the next person was the Surgeon, who is a female, and is known well in Launceston as being spectacular in her work ethic and abilities.  Thank god I was here in Launceston when I got Cancer and not in one of the cities we have lived in.  The care and consideration I had the whole way was outstanding.  There are Breast Care Nurses, McGrath Nurses, Community Nurses, Cancer Council Volunteers, Free Counsellors, and luckily you found this website, BCNA for emotional support and information.  I guess if nothing at all, the doctor should have said "You have cancer, now go talk to some one who cares!" (sorry I am stunned at you experience, it was rude and inconsiderate and unprofessional).  Good luck from now on, ask us here, we will help! X Bel
