Who will fight for you best
As an oncology nurse could I just put it out there from the last session here at the BCNA Summit, there was a comment about the role of the Breast care nurse being able to challenge/re-educate the do...
I agree with what you are all saying. I think the level of care I'm getting at the moment is largely due to the wonderful nurses and support staff at my treatment centre. If it wasn't for them I'd be very scared and alone. They are easy to talk you and only a phonecall away if I need them. My oncology nurses have been more of a support to me as I feel the whole process - surgery, follow up appointment etc was so rushed that I didn't get a chance to get to know my breast care nurse and feel now that the moment has past. The oncology nurses seem to have more relevance at the moment. My oncologist is great but very busy but I do get to see him just before every chemo treatment as a matter of course to air any concerns I have.
Great advice, Gabrielle. Thanks
