Oncologist Advice
Hi ladies
Can anyone tell me if they have had experiences with Dr Marco Matos at Pacific Private in Southport?
I am due to see him Wednesday.

- Hi Fiona, I have tested positive to BRCA2 gene and am booked in for bilateral mastectomy with TRAM flap with Dr Eddie Cheng in April 2015. I was wondering if you were happy with the work Eddie did and if you had a TRAM flap done. I am very interested to hear your story and any advice or tips you can give me on recovery. Thank you, Louise

So glad to hear that Dr Matos is wonderful. I agree that all oncologists are amazing & are a very special breed. I went thru 3 cycles of FEC over 9 weeks and then 9 weeks of Taxel. The FEC knocked me around a bit but the Taxel was easier to handle. I found eating plain Jatz and sipping lemonade & ice water helped with the sick feeling.
We are all here for you and please ask if you need any help or advice.
Best of luck with you chemo and you will beat this
Wishing you all the very best with your chemo. xo

So pleased to hear that your docor was wonderful, everyone that I have spoken to even though we have all had different doctors have had lovely doctors - they must be a special breed. You by this time you probably feel that you have had information overload but as things happen you will recall reading about it which can be some comfort. We all experience different things when going through our treatments just hang in there, there is light at the end of the tunnel. Mine personnaly was not great but most people sail through, how often are your treatments and are you having radium? Will be thinking of you, just remember if someone offers help except it as sometimes that is the only way they feel that they can help you. Stay positive

Just reporting that Dr Matos was wonderful. So very comforting as I started as soon as he called my name.
