I have joined this group because while I was having my radiotherapy i was getting loads of support on the marsden app and able to ask lots of questions. As soon as my radiotherapy finished I was passed over to the open access group but dont have the same response from them. I had a lot of questions to ask about side effects and I was supposed to be given a phone call Follow up on Dec 9th but it didn't come. Phoned a couple of days later and was told someone would ring that afternoon but again no call. I have been referred for acupuncture which was 3 months ago for the sweats and aching joints but no update. Now I have terrible itching on my body. Called open access as I again wanted to know if it was a side effect. I spoke and they told me to go to my gp as it is not necessarily side effect related but it could be tablet related and they have temporarily stopped one tablet. I've not had any face to face visits since Sept and my first mammogram is june
