I might have read the original post incorrectly, but the impression I got was not that Outre didn't want the chemo offered at her two hour away hospital pre surgery and rads, as that hospital does not offer cold caps. The cool caps were only available to her in Brisbane, under the public system, which would entail an initial three month stay there, and that was the initial hurdle. Following hurdles of further Brisbane based surgery and rads was further down the road. I got the impression that if both the chemo as well as the cold caps were available to her two hours away, she would not be having such a problem. If I am incorrect, then I stand corrected.
