(I spent a week in Darwin before Covid, with a buddy from here!) and can't wait to do it again!! ;) I caught up with Blossom1961 last year when I was in Vic - and it was just so good, putting a face to the lovely person I'd been chatting with for a few years xx
Feel free to put up any comments that you'd like re helping your cousin thru her treatment, as you went thru it too xx ....
We started a 'carer' private group a while back - as it can be a minefield navigating all the bumps, specially getting on to Care Plans & assistance in the home etc specially at the pointy end .... I am sure you would have some real gems of info that could help others who are doing the same!
Take care
