Hi Lynne, I am so pleased to hear you are with Peter Willsher, he really will look after you very well. I am at the Mount too. Peter will guide you through the surgical process and what happens after that. He is really approachable. His receptionist, Catherine is very helpful if you get muddled or need to know how things work. His breast care nurse, Cathy is also lovely and very helpful. And when it comes to Chemo, one of the best senior nurses at the Chemo clinic is Margaret, and she was great 9-4 any day for answering questions or advising me what do do about anything to do with my treatment, and she called my oncologist if she was not sure or if it was something Arlene wanted the say about. And I was given the oncology ward after hours number to call for afterhours concerns, and they were good too. All these people can be contacted via the Mount switchboard.
I requested Arlene for my oncologist because I had heard glowing reports about her. and she has really lived up to her reputation. Please feel free to PM message me if I can help in any other way. I will be in at the Mount on and off over the next month too.
Jessica
