GP recommendation - Port melbourne area

Thanks Ann-Marie. Yes, I have subscribed for the  "My Journey"kit - It hasn't arrived as yet, but presume it is still in the post!

@whatanuisance welcome to the online network. Along with this wonderful forum our website is jam packed with information. We have a section called "Your medical team" it will give you some tips as well.

Yes it certainly is - go figure :)

Omg! Nikki see this is what I was saying...small world

@melclarity I also see Rick De Boer...he's fantastic!

Absolutely!!! and I think everyone of us has said that at the beginning "Aint got time for Dat" LOL a hard road but learnt so much about myself on the way..forever changed and priorities too. ME FIRST!!! HUGE!!! and it doesnt make me any less of a loving Mum I think it makes me even better :) 

Thanks!! I must admit when i got the info on friday, my initial reaction [which I guess is the same for a lot of women] was "I don't have time for this" and .... There go my retirement plans for travel in May!!

Isn't it funny how the Universe works  :o LOL gee theres so much to deal with but theres so many great things that come from it too! Crazy!!! crazy journey!!! Lots of support here, so fire away and we'll all help as best we can :) 

Thanks ladies for the info. I guess in between unpacking boxes I will be doing a fair bit of research! ... and, Melinda, who would have thought that this would be the way I'd meet new friends in a new city??!!!

@whatanuisance Hey!! I live in Melbourne not quite where you are. The GP wont matter so much as any can do referrals, there are lots of places you could go. Ok So you need a Surgeons referral first of all. Ive been in the system about 11 years. I see Mr Craig Murphy at Freemasons in Victoria Pde, East Melbourne, he's been my surgeon for 6years is amazing! If you require an Oncologist he can refer, he referred me to Dr Richard De Boer and get this!!!! I have met so many ladies even a new neighbour for godsake under current treatment is seeing him. WHAT THE??!!! This is private, but for any treatments you can go public too. Hugs Melinda xo
