Excellent service and understanding from surgeon
Yesterday I had my 6th annual mammogram and ultrasound since my diagnosis and mastectomy back in May 2013. Last year when I went to make the appointment there was a 3 week wait for next available so this year I rang in plenty of time and of course got one almost straight away! This meant a bit of a wait until my appointment with my surgeon for the results and my physical check. Even at 6 years waiting is not a good thing.
The ultrasound lady was reassuring and said everything looked good to her. The mammogram lady just said that it would be checked by 2 doctors etc. This morning I check my emails and here is one from my surgeon saying she has received the report and images and everything looks good, nothing worrisome at all. This surgeon ‘gets it’ that we don’t need to wait and worry! I’ll be thanking her when I see her in a couple of weeks for my actual appointment.
