Hi all, hope everyone is doing well. I have had surgery now and now have openings again and not healing again, supposedly on the inside now. All 64 stitches are now out that was painful. Personally I think I have a seroma, but can't get a deffinite answer from anyone. I asked questions to my surgeon on Friday and he looked blankly at me and just said you are going to take time to heal. But it dosen't help my situation now.
With that in mind I would like to ask a question: Why is it that there is nothing out there to help cancer patients for a certain age bracket, they have so much for kids and young people and plenty for the elderly but the age bracket in between they don't seem to worry about (my dealings anyway). They seem to assume that we should of worked and can rely on super or that we have partners they should be supporting us. I think this should be something out there (as centrelink has nothing and hard to survive on believe me) Please let me know what you think and if you know of anything that is available to this age bracket or are we forgotten about. I am not talking about support groups, therapy etc. Thanks again for listening.xx
