I wonder if you can switch to public system
i have used my local cancer clinic for nearly all my treatment. I have had breast care nurse from the start. When i was diagnosed metastatic i was given a McGrath nurse. And saw the social worker.

Not knowing where your located i cant give any further advise. Re lack of support. Cancer council as well as bcna have been a great help along this life journey we are on.
Best wishes with getting the right help. Reading some posts i have been extremely fortunate with the Oncologist I have she doesn’t muck around with anything and answers all my dumb questions. And my nurse is only a phone call, message or email away.
