@Temple I post across a wide variety of topics, and tone. I often post about Letrozole as a fact providing service, ie 'this has what's happened to me'. I have posted on topics from depression, to supplements, chemo, mastectomy, reconstruction and even pubic hair regrowth patterns! I have asked many many questions and everyone has been generous with their answers.
I have had the full gamut of experience in healthcare professionals. My breast surgeon has been wonderful, my plastic surgeon horrible beyond belief (with the exception of his actual work, which is excellent) and my GP is a dream. I've had useless nurses, cold nurses and ones I'd like to know forever. A month ago I had a phlebotomist who sighed loudly and heavily when asked to take my blood. So much so that I asked if that was a problem for her!
I am so sorry that you have been so badly served by the medicos you've met through your breast cancer experience. Some of us get perfect care, most of us a mix, and few such as yourself, have a really bad run. Everyone here wants to help. I understand the anger, frustration, and devastation that this bloody diagnosis brings. Is there anything we can do to help? If you say what part of Australia you're in, maybe someone can suggest a centre where they've had good, respectful care. Are you being treated publicly or privately? Sometimes it's difficult in the public system to always see the same people, but some manage it.
I hope thing improve for you soon. K
