Information and support needs.
Dr Rachel Iredale, Prof Lesley Fallowfield, Carol Maddock, Maureen Gilbert, Cathie Lockenwitz, Francisca Bach Kolling-Dandrieu and Roswitha Britz discuss informed decisions.
At the time of your diagnosis did you feel you had sufficient information to make informed decisions?
Would it have been helpful to have been given information in a different way or format?
Did anyone use tools to describe risk calculations/probabilities -- did they help or hinder?
I have heard comments that it can be difficult to get information about herediatary aspects of breast and ovarian cancer from 1st line health care professionals -what was your experience?
