Hi @Not_good_63_57,
Ask for the hospital Breast Care Nurse to call you or find a McGrath nurse ASAP. https://www.mcgrathfoundation.com.au/get-support/find-a-nurse/.
They will be able to help you find the answers to any questions not addressed by your oncologist so far.
If you want a second opinion from another oncologist, definitely get one. If you do not like your current oncologist, you can change docs, even in the public system. Your GP may have suggestions - or ask for recommendations here at BCNA, from those in your area/at your hospital. Are you a public or private patient?
Take a support person with you to those important appointments. Keep your own files and get copies of test results etc.
I hope that helps you. L xxx
