Fight for Nth Queensland

I am a 44 year old woman who has just recently in the last week undergone a mastectomy at the cairns base hospital due to breast cancer . I have been very impressed with the staff at cairns base . However I was very distressed to learn that the plastic surgeon who perform the reconstructions of the breast will no longer be able to work at cairns base hospital due to no funding to get him help . As of september the 1st there will be no plastic surgeon for the Northern region public system which means that anyone who needed any plastic surgery done will have to go to Brisbane . I will have to go on a waiting list in Brisbane which could be up to a 2 year wait . I am not only writing this email to you for my self but also for all the other breast cancer sufferers and anyone who needs plastic surgery done weather it be for an emergency or because they have a disease that is not their fault and need to have plastic surgery to make them feel normal again . I am hopeing you can help out with helping to raise awareness for the need for a plastic surgeon in cairns and also to help raise the funds to make this possible
