Breast Cancer Nurses
Breast Cancer Nurses are experienced Registered Nurses who specialise in the care and support of patients with breast cancer.
After your diagnosis of breast cancer, a Breast Cancer Nurse is available to support you and your family or carer when making informed decisions about your surgery, treatment and ongoing care.
Many patients report it is helpful to have contact with a Breast Cancer Nurse as early as possible in their diagnosis.
Breast Cancer Nurses provide practical support helping you and your family progress along your breast cancer pathway smoothly.
A Breast Cancer Nurse can provide a consistent source of information, care and emotional support throughout your breast cancer experience and beyond.
You may be referred by one of your treating doctors or health care professionals or you can contact us directly.
