Meeting with Specialists Initially
Hello, My name is Jen, 29, married, no kids. On Friday 21st April I had scans for a lump in the right breast. On Monday 24th April, I was diagnosed with Breast Cancer in the right breast, left breast ...
i had a great female surgeon, I really like, however, I get quite upset with the waiting time at the Breast Cancer Institute, usually 5 hours! by this time any one will do! I feel upset that many women have to sit in silence and wait this lengh of time each week, and often only to hear bad news. Considering it is a major teaching hospital this is a disgrace. Not sure how to change or improve this as everyone waiting is in the same boat, frightened and anxious. More staff needed, more Drs and nurses and a total revamp of the waiting area, ( Westmead ) is needed
