McGrath Breast Care Nurses are registered nurses specially trained to manage the care of people with breast cancer throughout the course of their treatment. They are a principal liaison between the individual and the specialists who coordinate their treatment – whether it be early or metastatic breast cancer. McGrath Breast Care Nurses also play an important advocacy role as well as helping to clarify technical or complicated information that may not be easily understood.
Most importantly, McGrath Breast Care Nurses offer vital emotional support for people with breast cancer and their families, during what can be a very difficult time.
The earlier a McGrath Breast Care Nurse is connected to someone diagnosed with breast cancer the better the outcomes are. Ideally a nurse is involved from the time of diagnosis, however they offer support across all stages of both early and metastatic breast cancer.
The care of a McGrath Breast Care Nurse is free & no referral is required.
