I am seeing a clinical nurse practitioner at the breast screening centre tomorrow to get biopsy results,  is that a cancer nurse? 

thanks

  • I'm not an expert, but I think this is more of an advanced or specialist nurse.

    She will probably be a Breast Cancer nurse. My experience of them so far is that they are knowledgeable and very supportive. Don't worry! xx

  • Hi

    There are nurses who work in the screening programme and offer advice and support, I would doubt if the diagnosis is cancer that your appointment would be just with a nurse, it should be with a consultant with the nurse present, but each area organises these services slightly differently.

    Good luck with the results
