Support needed from health professionals during treatment and beyond

I too have been repeatedly advised against this forum by doctors, counsellors and nurses. When I've been able I have disabused them of the notion that it's full of horror stories. That it's supportive and a valuable resource, and great company too. Dr Liz O'Riordan recommends that all BC doctors spend a bit of time on the forums so they truly know what their patients experience. As so many dismiss the sleep problems of a BC diagnosis and treatment, so they dismiss this service that the BCNA advises. I would LOVE to get up at a conference of breast cancer doctors and give them my perspective. I bet there's a number of people here who'd like to as well!
