Dear Vicki,
It’s Lisa from the Policy Team. Thanks for sharing your concerns. It’s normal to have questions about how you are feeling and responding to treatment. It can also be hard to take in so much new information. You might find it helpful at your next appointment to write down some questions beforehand and also to take a few notes. Some women also find it helpful to bring a family member or friend who can help take in the information.
If you still feel like your questions are going unanswered when talking to your doctor or oncologist, you might find it helpful to seek a second opinion.
Another great resource is the Cancer Council 13 11 20 Information and Support Service. This is a free, confidential telephone service run by trained nurses who can also answer questions you might have. Here’s a link to more information.
In the meantime, if you are experiencing physical effects and are concerned about them, we would encourage you to see your doctor.
If you think it might be an emergency, we would encourage you to seek urgent care.
All the best,
Lisa
