10 years agoHi Erica, I've been really fortunate in my area. I live in a small town of 2000 people, Orbost in Far East Gippsland. The closest breast care nurse is at Bairnsdale (1 hours drive away) however she has been in regular contact, particularly with exercises and lymph oedema care for my right arm. She has provided advice on funding for travel, and the local fundraising group have provided fuel cards, and coffee vouchers for when we travel to Melbourne (5 hours travel away) I feel for other ladies who are compromised by their remoteness, as it is hard enough to travel for access to care without support. All the best wishes for your friend. Trace ??????
