Appts/visits seem to be the most effective way to answer questions. Even though they won't change it, I believe they are an important step to understand, clarify, and address the diagnosis.

We completely agree. Being prepared by having your questions written down or having someone with you can make the most of your appointments.

This is a very helpful video thanks. I hope that the NHS staff in the UK have sufficient time for patients as you do in the States.

Expect to be gotten rid of as quickly as possible. "Healthcare" in the US is corporatized, and profits depend on quantity, not quality.

While we agree that things could be better, there are doctors and teams that have soul.

Most people who get chemotherapy for breast cancer will lose their hair temporarily. This is a really difficult side effect of chemotherapy. We have quite a few videos about ways to cope with hair loss.

No some of us weren’t fortunate enough to have children, sadly.
