Three years since diagnosis, husband deployed for the second time and now facing possibility of a new posting. Should I consider relevant medical facilities? I have been so well looked after in Canberra I am nervous about moving. What are the medical facilities for BC like around the country especially check ups? Still seeing oncologist for tamoxifen and regular mammograms. I know the posting is not up to me but would be good to know what to expect wherever we end up.

    Hello and welcome.  I live in rural central queensland.  I am well looked after.  My medical oncologist comes in monthly from Brisbane and I have the most amazing surgeon who won't let me go.  He wants to keep being my primary service provider.  It will just be a matter of checking out prior to your arrival at your new "home".  Let us know online and I'm sure there will be someone with information for you.

    Obviously by now you may be posted. I am in Brisbane, Amberley is my spouses posting. A myriad of support in the city and the surrounding satelite cities.  My diagnosis was in April, I am under the care of the Mater Breast Care clinic and Mater HOCA. 

    Here if you need anything.

    Take care
