Yes, @Cate64, spot on there.
Completely misrepresented.
Unfortunately their website is not set-up to give additional information when you are negotiating it. Rather than a "If you would like more info please ring 13 11 20" there should be an immediate "disclaimer" stating that this program is not for those who have secondary cancer.
@Anne-Marie_BCNA - perhaps this may be something you could suggest on behalf of us and those in the future who may wish to enrol in that program ?
Update already @Jude M and @Cate64.
I received a phone call late yesterday afternoon.
When they asked the question about "how long since your last treatment" (they did exclude hormone treatment) I said I may need it in future due to mbc diagnosis. Two seconds of awkward silence followed by an "I'm sorry but .....".
Essentially, it is a pilot program run through the Uni of Qld and they have recently received the funding for it. They would like to roll it out first to "curable" patients and depending on the response/success/further funding it may be offered to those of us with mbc in the future !
I was given some further info re: an exercise physiologist (ESSA) and "healthy eating" which I have always embraced long before bc.
I may send a couple of these links as another separate discussion - could help a few people !
@Cate64 - looks awesome - Run, Cate, Run ....xxxx
@Cate64, please no apologies needed from you to me. At least it won't come as a shock, like it did to you !
In fact, this has given me plenty of opportunity in advance to ask lots of questions when they do ring as to WHY we are not considered part of their "target" audience simply because we are not curable.
Please, keep being a warrior princess and good luck with your 5 km run this Sunday. You are & will be amazing !!!
