Who gets to see McGrath Breast Care Nurses?
I see so much promotion of McGrath BC Nurses. I just wonder how they decide who to see? I don't know many women in Adelaide, who have access to one. Are they available in all states? Have many of you, my fellow BC ladies, have seen one of these Nurses? Are they only for patients in the Public sector? Just curious.1.2KViewsSign in to react to this post24Comments
McGrath Nurses
i am so angry and sad regarding women that have had surgery and have no one after wards to help them, after my surgery I had a pamphlet that had a McGrath nurse I could contact which i have and they have been a gods send to me. I have been told it is different for private and public if your public you are on your own which I have just found out to be quiet true. I have joined a bc group like this and is in my home town adelaide . I have tears as I write this I posted a reply to a women and I hand about four replies from other women that were the same no McGrath nurse or any bc nurse to contact when they came home wtf all this money we raise and suppose to have a nurse for every women that has /had breast cancer I'm shocked at how many of these women have no help or know how to get help. Can anyone tell me why this is happening .ViewsSign in to react to this postComments
Today's election
I have just voted. My local member was at the poling booth. I told her that I would vote for her if she could guarantee that if her party was elected they would have more metastatic breast care nurses in the first month as government. She replied that she had done something about prostate cancer. She had also had some sort of scare. That did not help me. I told her that I actually have metastatic breast cancer, I have not had a scare. She couldn't help me. I was very agitated.ViewsSign in to react to this postComments
