Breast Care Nurses
Just wondering, typically when do you get allocated a breast care nurse? I was diagnosed 24/6/16, have surgery booked for next Friday 15/7/16 but I haven't been contacted by a breast care nurse yet. ...
Hi Leila, good luck with your surgery. Yes I think the hospital where you have your operation would be a good link. I was in contact with one as soon as I had my tests done at breast care clinic then passed me on to one in my closest town . She works through community health. They are lovely caring nurses she can assist you with a lot of information and takes an active role in your journey. She put me in touch with a bra shop where I was given a post op berlei bra to wear. I also purchased a comfy cotton crop type one which I have been wearing two weeks after my surgery. Will be changing over to the verlie bra soon when some soreness disappears.Sending hugs. Xx
