Medical Letter

I’m a nurse and have helped heaps of patients fill out paperwork for various reasons. It depends on who it’s for. If it’s just for work you’ll find a GP letter would be fine. It can be general in nature and gi an overview of what’s going on. You can also sign a release of records form from whoever is relevant with your gp and they can get all your scan etc faxed to them but ordinarily like primek said essentially your gp should get letters from the oncol and surgeon as well and this should suffice. On the other hand if you need it for insurance purposes I’d get it all from your oncol as they can be a pain in the arse about it. Gather copies of all your results that you’ ve had and copies of all your scans and ask them to write a detailed letter including your treatment plan and medication if you have any and the oncols are pretty good and are used to writing them. I took mine a form from my super to claim oncompasinate grounds and my oncol said he couldn’t complete it as my bc was treatable and not terminal. So it just depemds what you need it for.  Your breast care nurse if you have a decent one can liase for you too. Mine was shit.  Hope this helps. Margie. Xxx
