Private medical care - breast cancer

Smidge
Offline

I was diagnosed with BC November 2013 and am currently in the monitoring stage having finished treatment (lumpectomy/ chemo/ radio) just over a year ago.  I have recently started receiving private medical insurance through my employment and am considering transferring from NHS to private as (1) I am no longer entirely satisfied with my oncologist, having changed part way through my treatment and (2) require more flexibility for appointments etc.  I feel that, if I do decide to change to private healthcare, I should research oncologists to find the best one I can possibly find.  Does anyone have any advice or recommendations on this?  Thank you :)

    Hi Smidge ..... I would say - yes, yes and yes.  I have had private health insurance for 10yrs and can recommend a top oncologist for you to google.  If you would like to put a friend request to me on private messaging, I will send you a message in the next couple of days. x

    Hi Max, I'll friend request you. Also just wanted to say I've just been reading your posts and was wondering how you are doing with your treatment. Sounds a little stalkerish but we had some conversations on here back when I was fist diagnosed, you are such an inspiration and lovely lady and I often wonder how you are xxx
