"Unsupported "

I have found the aftercare from breast cancer lacking and insensitive.

I have been left with radiotherapy damage, after breast conserving surgery and radiotherapy.

More information needs to be given to patients with small breast cancers on the long term effects of radiotherapy. Not just to be handed a leaflet. Discussions between oncologist and consultant s need to be better explained so patients can make a better informed choice to treatments.

I found the whole experience lacking in this area. I felt I had no choices with my treatments. People need to be treated in an individual manner not made to feel like they are on a conveyer belt. They need to feel supported, before during and after treatment. Unfortunately I have felt none of this.

I have had a small cancer yes, and it’s treated, yes, but I still have the same feelings worries and concerns of someone with a different diagnosis.

I feel dismissed, not listened to and silenced, this is not a nice way to feel.

Where is the support?
