Also just diagnosed

Hi everyone,

Thanks again for all the adivse.

I'm now 2 weeks past my first chemo and i'm feeling really good. I was only nauseaus/sick for 3 days. I had quite a foggy brain for a week and also a very annoying oral thrush, but that was it. All in all, I think I did pretty good in regards to chemo. My hair started to fall out and I shaved it off last night, but that doesn't bother me. Worst part was probably that coffee didn't taste good while I had the oral thrush!!!!! Can't live without coffee!

Unfortunately my life has been turned upside down in the last week and I'm struggeling mentally a bit. I'm here in Australia (with my partner) as an international student and have been told last week that my health insurance doesn't cover  the costs for chemo (or basically anthing other than hospital and doctors costs) and I'll have to leave in order to get treatment. We have been living here for 5 years and are thinking of Australia as our home and are very very sad to leave our life and friends. So  yes unfortunatley, we'll have to sell/give up everything here and I'll also have to discontinue my studies (would only have 3 months left) which is all a bit stressful. But i'm sure I can cope with that as well - just need a bit of time to get used to it.
