Deployed and Postings

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.

  • I am very late too but I my husband is at Williamtown and we live at Nelson Bay, if you are around here.   I access services both in Newcastle and Sydney.

     

  • 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.

  • 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.
