Ask oncologist to record meeting on phone

Hi Mrs Merton.
Yes..my bc nurse advised me about it..i still get really anxious though..but I think the Anastrazole adds greatly to that x

Rachel - that is a top tip!!!  I wish I’d thought of that when i was first diagnosed.  Incidentally i saw the physio this week and she made me use my phone to video her doing the exercises she wants me to do at home - the modern world!  Take care xx

Yes Anne, I find it really helpful and reassuring.. (just cringe when I hear my own voice lol!)

That’s a good tip Rachy. Many professionals are happy to do this, but it has to be with their consent, of course.

Hi ladies
I have a lovely oncologist and he allowed me to record the last meeting on my phone.
This really helps me on my wobble days.. (just to listen again to the bits you can't recall).
I just thought it may be something for you all to consider, as i could never recall anything important as was always a bag of nerves
My partner and my mother had to remind me what was said.
