Heartbroken, but unbroken
We have just been hit with a TNBC diagnosis. My wife is 44 and we have two young kids. Our world's been turned upside down. There's so much raw emotion and the sense of grief that we all know all too...
Some good advice there @strongtogether. I would definitely check out the financial side - maybe one of the things you can do for your wife so that she doesn't have to process too much (although that may be just what she wants to occupy herself with). My health fund covered surgery, private hospital and chemo (plus the extras with oncology such as exercise, etc), but your fund will not cover radiotherapy. However, in most cases, the public system, which I went with, is just as good as the private and I haven't heard too much in the way of extra care for the money. The only thing I would say is that I had to ask for the Mepitel film and supply my own moisturiser, but you can buy a hell of a lot of moisturiser for a few thousand dollars.
