Need Advice n!!!

I personally have been in many well known and highly raded treatment facilities and have not found general oncology nurses to know much about the different types of breast cancer, how treatment differs for the different types, what is new, etc. They do know methods to deal with various side effects. If we had this offer from an oncology nurse who has only worked with breast cancer patients (better yet a breast cancer PA at a major breast cancer treatment center), it might be more useful for some visiting this site.

It is a generous offer. Any information on why she is making this offer?

I do know that she has over 20 years of experience at a practice that treats all cancers, but I think all she does is work with the bc patients.

She is very experienced,

Regards

Thanks, Joe. I think it could provide a somewhat unique opportunity to open up lines of communication in both directions, and provide some good discussion. There are a number of medical people on the forum here who are busy dealing with bc themselves and who don't pretend to know all there is to know.
