I feel for you re your GP leaving, @DearB ... mine has left Forster for Melbourne, Vic somewhere! :( She found my lumps during a routine pap smear (she suggested she check my boobs at the same time - otherwise it would have still been growing steadily as we speak!)
She was wonderful thru all my procedures, suggesting my surgeon - and even chatting with me for 1/2hr+ when I bumped into her in the shops, post op! So I am seriously missing her! I haven't decided who to see yet, in her place! :(
All the best for your checks xx
