Unfortunately if it wasn't her usual GP or he wasn't aware of her past history
he wouldn't have bothered to read her notes.

I went to see my GP years ago (not long after I'd had all my treatment and been given the all-clear). It was a new GP, she asked me what the scars were on my chest, I told her I'd had breast cancer and she laughed at me! "Oh no, of course you haven't! It was just a cyst."
So that's why they gave me six months of chemo then, just for a cyst?
Ah...

Sadly they just don't have the time to read a patient's notes. Doesn't make it right though.
