Hi
I am so sorry you in this situation but it seems to be normal. I went private and to a top breast surgeon and I got no after care. I had simple mastectomy and sentinel node done, was going back 2 times a week getting Seromas drained at $150 out of pocket expense and no advice. Had a BC nurse but she was one person for a large private hospital so had very minimal contact, she said she only got to see 50% of the people as she was so busy. I would look at seeing another surgeon before surgery, I wish I had followed my gut but it's all rush rush and my son kept saying he was the best and seemed nice. Started to think I was being silly, you need someone who listens, answers questions instead of putting you off. I dread my ongoing visits with him, thank god I have a great GP.
wishing you all the best
