It's Not Me
It's that old cliche ... It only happens to other people ... and although it's happened to me I keep hearing this voice telling me it's not really as bad as other women's cancers. I still have my bre...
Hi again,
The breast nurse was allocated to me by the surgeon/hospital. She called me before the surgery to offer some information kits and a soft post surgery bra, then said she would see me in hospital. She was there the day following surgery and was very nice, but I haven't heard from her since. As I said, I don't know what the protocol is here, so I'll talk to my GP on Friday.
It's a scary thing you are going through and the not knowing is the worst. I was fortunate in that once I saw my GP after Breastscreen, she called the surgeon for me and everything seemed to move so quickly. Now I am trying to get a grasp of the treatments ahead of me. I hate just sitting around waiting for the phone to ring ... I suppose that's one of the reasons I signed up for this site.
So, if nothing else we can be there for each other, whether it is get information, compare notes, cry on each others' shoulders or to vent our fears and frustrations.
hugs
