Hello @Linda_D
I was saddened to read of your sisters experience. I cant imagine how difficult this situation would be to deal with, its great that she has you for support during this very stressful time. It’s a complex situation and one that requires some assistance with navigation of services available during this difficult time. If possible, can she make contact with an oncology social worker at her treating centre to help guide her with regards to supports services available.
As others have said, she needs to stay connected with her medical team, General Practitioner and breast care nurse. Encourage her to reach out for emotional support and to link in with a counsellor who can provide some one to one support during this time. I understand that your sister is in Melbourne, Cancer Council Victoria offer some legal and financial assistance that she may be able to access. I have also attached a link to the Cancer Services Guide which has some helpful services listed, there contact phone number is 13 11 20. I wish her all the best and hope this situation resolves soon. Take care of each other.
