Thanks to everyone for attending our June meeting.
Breast Care Nurses:
Changes of Breast Care Nurses. Helen is leaving in the next few months. New nurses have started. New Locum Consultant helping Mr Potdar. Rosie Lymphoedema Nurse is trailing lymphoedema education by giving talks towards end of year. Rosie can come and do a talk for us (Marie & Nikita to provide Rosie’s email address.)
General update from Breast Care Nurses:
- Patients waiting in the waiting room has changed and are now segregated from patients having operations
and check-ups. It is very rare they will be mixed. - There is now a Breast Pain Clinic available but you cannot go if you have had breast cancer previously.
If you wanted a second bra from hospital you can call them and they can reorder for you. Nurses to give
number to Helen for bra fittings in hospital. - Please call The Breast Care Nurses if you are worried about anything, even if you have completed five years
they will then advise on what you should do, leave a message on the voicemail they will get back to you.
We recommend self-examine once a month if you have a period then it is 7 to 10 days after.
Summer Picnic – August 31st Burghley Park, Stamford
The Peterborough group are happy for Stamford to join the more the merrier!
Donation:
A very kind donation has been made by Mr Longworth. Mr Longworth had his 80th birthday recently and in place of presents asked family and friends to donate some money to our group, as a family member had benefited from coming to our group. The sum donated was £350.
An incredibly generous donation and much appreciated.
