Whilst it is lovely we are going to be counted, I do not think it will make a difference, we will just be another number. Time will tell. We lost our business with my first diagnosis in Geelong which was our house purchase money. I couldn't work it so we went under. Our own fault, we never should have put the house money into a business. We were just starting to get on our feet again when I was diagnosed with mets. I had to quit work and can only now work the occasional day so our only income is my husbands. If it wasn't for him???? On the plus side, the public system where I now have my treatment in Bendigo has been great, mets or not.
