    Frustrating does not even begin to describe it .... as if we don't have enough to concern ourselves about.

    This is for all of you but @Cate64 may get a giggle out of this in an otherwise crazy world .... Medicare (the system) will only accept "indefinite" as 3 years because most likely we would have had a change of government and 3 or 4 Prime Ministers in that time !!! :)

    Though I am not far into this bc everyone is right. I'm not sure which nurses I saw on my first visit my brain was still mush. Most of my info has come from this site. And having a sister who was a community nurse. And a best friend a nurse also they get the info If I ask. 
    THANK GOODNESS FOR BCNA 
    i don't know what else I am going to need down the path as the surgery is planned etc in February and the after surgery treatment etc. 
    i wont blame the nurses its more the under funding. We are one in a very big case load. For each of them.
    MAYBE in our pack there could be a flyer we can give to our GPs with list of the most needed and a link to their section of this site. Just a thought.
