All in all, I have been very impressed with the attitude of the hospital staff. They have come across as professional, friendly, clear, calm and confident. Not just when dealing directly with me, but also when they are dealing with each other. It's made me feel much more relaxed, calm, and confident about everything myself.
They've been so great with their communication and really seem to understand that we won't remember absolutely everything they say. It's the nice little human touches like the pre-warmed blanket for the nuclear meds, the cushion under the knees, ... always making sure I'm comfortable (as much as possible under the circumstances), and knowing they are there to answer any questions we have.
About Me
- Queensland Breast Cancer Patient
- I'm a 34-year-old female breast cancer patient, diagnosed in January 2009. Originally from New Zealand, my partner and I have settled in Brisbane, Australia, after living abroad for 6 years. This is my blog which I started after my diagnosis and just before my first hospital visit. It's to help me process what's going on and to record my treatments, thoughts, and feelings.
