I agree with tbe above and I believe your breast care nurse should be finding a solution to this. My other thought is treatment at a larger public hospital perhaps. My surgery was done at TQEH in SA so the radiology was done in the hospital ...where they will have lifters. Get into that breast care nurse and she needs to solve this issue in consultation with the Drs. The other thought is the Orange Hospital Complaints Dept as it is an issue with their hospital. It is not your job to solve this it is there's. I tried to see if they had a Cancer Care Coordinator but none was listed. Rattle the bars and good on you for contacting the papers. (Also is there a local MP? ) Let's see what happens now. You will get appropriate care....even if we have to storm the darn hospital. And dammit...a team of fellow bc sisters will lift you if we have to but it shouldn't come to that. Kath x
