"Great team but after care rubbush"

About: Kettering General Hospital NHS Foundation Trust

I had surgery for breast cancer in february and 2as told i woukd see oncologist within 4-6 weeks to arrange radiotherapy.

It was 10 weeks before i heard anything.

Unfortunately i was unable to do the radiotherapy due to another health problem.

I am now 22 weeks post op and have had no further treatment, i was prescribed tamoxifen , but was told at a later date not to take them.due to risk of dvt.

Pretty anxiius by now tbh
