I am being told that I will not be referred to pt unless I am having problems this is from my oncologist surgeon nurse navigator I am meeting with my oncologist on April the 8th and plan on having conversation with him about any ideas on how to explain how important this is to me Their web site even says how important it is so I can’t figure out what is going on
I was talking to a friend yesterday about the fact that after a mastectomy I was sent a letter from the hospital offering an appointment to go and get a prosthesis fitted (purely cosmetic, and I'm opting to stay flat anyway), but trying to get a physio appointment is hard work. The priorities are all wrong! (That's in the UK)
Hi Debbie, that is interesting. I suspect for some women a prosthesis would be a high priority, but in a way that only covers one aspect, whereas Physiotherapy is going to assess and treat a lot more issues. I would also say both are important, and one is more important to different people. Thank you for commenting, really appreciate it. Jen x
Thanks Jen. The best advice I received from my surgeon before I started any treatment was to see you. This video provides such good advice.
Thankyou Lizzie! Much appreciated!! Jen x
