How do i deal with this

Thanks so much everyone. You are all just beautiful souls. @iserbrown yes i know but i really need to be in a better financial state so myself and the boys can really enjoy the break. Two of them have recently started new jobs and wouldn't be able to get leave. Will definitely investigate though!!

@Unicornkisses that is gorgeous what you just said that the forum helped immensely 
@3boysmum as the saying goes we're all in this together and there's experience and support on the forum.  @socoda has suggested the free holiday option The Otis Foundation. It's a wonderful opportunity to relax and rejuvenate. 
Take care 

I had so much support and love from everyone on here when I was desperate @3boysmum, I just hope I can pass some of it on to you too, it was what kept me sane through all this.

Thanks you @Mira.xx

Thanks so much @Unicornkisses. I need to see my gp in a week or so and will definitely ask. You are a treasure.x

Hey 3 boysmum, I don't have any advice but just wanted to send you some love.  You aren't alone in here. :) 

@3boysmum I Will leave the number for the counselling service on your timeline, but yes, you can ring Gosford hospital and ask for the counselling service.
ROC Gosford have a counsellor but I think you have to pay for it.
The other way you can do it is to go to your GP arrange a chronic care management plan and then you can organise allied health visit referrals at the same time.
It resets in January though, and you have to redo it with your GP. You get 5 per year.

I have one in place and have seen a dietitian and a exercise physiologist. You still have to pay but Medicare will then cover part of it. Cost will depend on who you see, so you would then have to ring each one and ask them before the referral is written.
My GP has a dietitian at their practise and it was bulk billed on the Care plan, no cost to me.

The exercise physiologist was at the Mariners Centre at Tuggerah and it cost $85 with a Medicare rebate, I think I will find a different one next year.
I also plan to include a podiatrist visit next year.
You get 5 allied health visits covered fully or partially per year. Some of them can be a psychologist.
But it is a bit confusing.
I would ask your GP about it for other people you might want to see.

If you just go to Sue or Kaitlin at the Gosford Public it is simple and straightforward. I go to Kaitlin and love her. And they are very familiar with the issues of Cancer Patients as it is in the Cancer Centre.

Let me know if you don't find the number on your timeline.

Thanks @socoda. I will look into this. I really can't afford to do anything at the moment though. Maybe when i snag a fulltime job!! Thanks again.xx

Thanks @Unicornkisses. I am going through the ROC at Gosford. I had my chemo at Nth Gosford private but they don't have a psychologist service. Do i just ring Gosford Hospital and ask reception? 

@3boysmum, it sounds like you are going through the private radiology clinic? You can though use the psychologists at Gosford Public Hospital, it is free and you can go as often and as long as you need to. I don't think I needed a referral.  I go there, even though I have most of my treatment through the private system. The breast care nurses are also based there and you can see them at the same time if you want to.
