Saw GP last year as I had found a lump in my left breast. 5 years previously had similar lump in right breast and had mastectomy, reconstruction surgery followed by chemotherapy, and radiotherapy and medication.
New Breast care team were extremely supportive and talked me through all the implications of my new problem. Very honest ,caring and made me feel well supported. After many tests we decided to go with previous treatment medication that now was also available.
The radiotherapy unit has also been very supportive, one staff member who was there on my previous visits 5 years before was again there to keep my spirits up.
My ongoing care continues between Ninewells and Perth Royal Infirmary. Very fortunate to have 2 amazing hospitals within easy reach of home.
