Searching for a new GP in Townsville

Question

Hi All.&nbsp; Am searching for a decent GP in Townsville - who understands the specific challenges of post treatment breast cancer.&nbsp; I was diagnosed in March 2016 with triple negative. Did 8 rounds of TAC + double mastectomy + sentinel node biopsy + 25 rounds of intense dose radiation + 8 cycles of Capecitabine. Am 3 years cancer free.&nbsp; Have moved to Townsville and need to find a good GP who understands.&nbsp; Any suggestions?

Hi Tamra, it might help if you add "in Townsville" to the title of this thread. It could catch the eye of a local forum member. @Giovanna_BCNA should be able to help you with that. All the best, and congrats on being three years NED! K xox

Welcome to Townsville.&nbsp; I have just changed GPs and see a doctor at Riverway medical centre.&nbsp; Will send you a private message when I work out how.&nbsp; Not sure how much she really knows about BC though. There's an active support group which meet up regularly and a dragon boat club.

Hi @mumflo. Tap or click on the person's @name and then click on the message button on the top right. That should do it.&nbsp; :)
