Hi Kaz,
Gosh, it sounds like you've had a really tough trot - I'm sorry to hear it. Are you claiming superannuation through the financial hardship route? It seems ridiculous that it would take two years, especially considering that you may lose your home. If you haven't already done so, it may be best to let your superannuation company know that the sitauation is fairly urgent. If you're unhappy with their response, perhaps you could consider contacting the Superannuation Complaints Tribunal, who may be able to review the decision and make a determination on a matter. They can be contacted on
1300 780 808.
The costs of a breast cancer diagnosis are so far reaching and, sadly as you know so well, don't stop once treatment is over. We recently posted about the out of pocket costs of breast cancer on our Facebook page which has resulted in some healthy discussion from a number of women. If you want to find the comments, they are under the post titled "BCNA Community Liaison Helen Williamson has shared her experience of out-of-pocket costs after a breast cancer diagnosis in The Age - theage.com.au today".
