OMG. I just did some research and found out that Qld Health supply TWO garments twice a year for free for lymphodema. Ive emailed them and asked about physio etc and what else is available for breast cancer patients WITH A HEALTH CARE CARD or on PENSION etc.
I am beginning to think we need a flow chart for each state from start to finish to show what we are may experience and what is available and where for each of us.
Here's the link for the compression garments in QUEENSLAND.
