I have completed 4 cycles of chemo and the new cancer nurse specialist that was assigned to me never introduced herself so I went through my oncologist to get the answers I needed.

The previous year the nurse cancer specialist was very helpful, but I think when you know the ropes they leave you to it.

Contact is mostly by email and telephone . When I contact her she always gets back to me the same day . The brilliant Jackie Byers ! She deserves a medal .

Only recently diagnosed, but twice, when I saw respiratory specialist.
