So, you know, being a nurse, you've got to practice what you preach as well.

So, doing all the screening and everything.

So it did report that my diverticulus is fine.

And because of the abdomen, it did look at, you know, my liver and everything else.

But it did have on the report that there was a six millimeter lesion on my right breast.

And if concerned, should get further ultrasound.

So it wasn't

usually in like the bright bold or anything like that.

And I just happened to read it, which I thought was a little odd because the specialist hadn't told me.

And then I was next having, you know, a couple of weeks later follow up with my GP, so raised it with them.

They never got the report.

So that report actually only went to my specialist and the emergency doctor.

So from then on, my GP was like, yep, let's send you for an ultrasound and another mammogram.

And then that sort of

was how I found my stage two breast cancer.

So I finished my radiation treatment and started back at work last week.

I think there's still elements of the healthcare system and I think that's why it's still really important that some processes are maintained, like, you know, checking your GP and all that sort of stuff.

I did follow up with the specialist today

better understand how come that report didn't go back to my GP.

So in their practice software, my GP was listed as an interested party.
