Accessing your superannuation early depends on the staging of your breast cancer and you won't know that till early March when you get your results.
I am being treated at Moorabbin (and you can arrange suitable times for Breast Oncology Clinic and other treatments later in the day) and have Stage 4 breast cancer which was diagnosed at original diagnosis. It's easy for me to say don't worry about the future but as you say you have faith in the medical profession. No amount of worrying or amount of scans will stop the cancer coming back if that is what it is going to do. Just trust in your doctors and know that it will be picked up and treated accordingly if it does. The only difference in my life to someone living with early breast cancer is that I have to fit my active life around medical investigations and treatments and be very organised. Despite having had neoadjuvent chemotherapy, radical mastectomy with all lymph nodes on affected side removed, radiotherapy and then more radiotherapy followed by lymphoedema I can honestly say I feel better than I have in years.
There is life after or even with this disease.
