Medway's Breast Cancer Team is a multidisciplinary team consisting of surgeons, oncologists, radiologists, pathologists, nurses, radiographers, counsellors, social workers and secretaries who all have specialist training and experience in the diagnosis and treatment of people with breast cancer.
What has been evident to me already, is the kind and gentle way each and every person we've come into contact with has treated us. Even receptionists and secretaries who, lets face it, can often be absolute dragons have been wonderful and feeling as emotionally fragile as I do most of the time, I am so grateful for not having to go into battle to get somewhere.
I believe the team meets weekly and discusses the cases and between them they come up with the best treatment plan, which is marvellous and means I'm not reliant on one specific person's opinion of what is best for me.
After the successful surgery, God told us they have so far decided that I will need radiotherapy to kill off any possible remaining cancer cells and then because I am ER+ and PR+ I will have hormone treatment for 5 years.
So ..................... the big one still to be decided is whether I must have chemo and hopefully we will know more after we meet the Oncologist tomorrow. Or will we just have to wait for another round of results ☹️
