Breast symptoms can be alarming and we endeavour to investigate and treat you as soon as we can. The most common presentation of breast cancer is a breast lump. Not all lumps are cancer, but do need to be promptly investigated. Many women also present nipple discharge, skin changes, or an armpit gland lump. Rapid imaging, biopsy and ongoing treatment is essential to improve out comes. I work with a multidisciplinary team of dedicated Breast Radiologists, Medical Oncologists, Radiation Oncologists and Plastic Surgeons to give the best care to my patients. All breast cancers are discussed and managed through a regional breast cancer forum.
