Hi @"Milly Molly" .My experience began with my GP when I found a lump. She immediately referred me for mammogram, ultrasound and biopsy. When the biopsy results came through as positive, she immediately referred me to both a surgeon and oncologist. These professionals liaised with me and each other to determine my best course of action as suggested by my results. I was also discussed at a multidisciplinary team meeting with other professionals (radiation oncologist, pathologist, etc). Through this process and being kept informed by all parties and also my breast care nurse, I felt very much supported and confident in the decisions made. All of this was in the public system, and in a regional area. We are very lucky in Australia!!
