breastscreen saw something so I had biopsies last Wednesday, my gp was supposed to get the results by Monday, got a ph call from breastscreen to say the pathologist wanted to do more staining and my gp would get the results on Tuesday so I should see him Wednesday. and Im so depressed and scared and such about the whole thing. wouldn't be so bad but theres just me and my autistic daughter left now , friends I thought I had I dont and not a friendly neighbourhood I tried when we came here but was ignored. I have never felt so alone in my life

- tismeMemberhad a visit from a cancer support , she read my diagnosis and mentioned that it was likely I would have the breast removed, I knew it was possible having dreamed about telling the surgeon that if he was going to take one he should take both ( less chance of that spreading and so I wouldn't look lopsided even with prosthesis which I cant afford anyway. then I discover daughter needs a root canal, and 6 fillings. cant afford that. seems the dental clinic has wiped the 5 years we have been waiting and according to their records we have been on the list 18 months ive also started having bouts of tachycardia again, I know its stress . daughter is suffering stress attacks too now

- tismeMemberjust got a pack from Breast screen Qld my diagnosis is well differentiated invasive carcinoma probable atypical ductal hypoplasia with micro calcification sounds more than just low grade cancer which is wat my gp told me I cant get to treatment if I need it , I see the surgeons next week at caboolture what happens to daughter the whole thing isn't fair I obviously dont get to enjoy life now there is only daughter to care for.

- SoldierCrabMemberHave you contacted Be Uplifted @Flaneuse
put their link above they help with transport- Arranging transport to treatment such as chemotherapy and radiation (this is from their website)
- SoldierCrabMemberTisme I am sure there would be community transport you would be eligible for this service while going through BC treatment.
- tismeMembersitting here thinking about things, gotta go see my GP on Monday to get a referral to the specialist clinic ( surgeons) how do I get there and back if I have to have surgery ?? as it is now id have to get a cab there , daughter would have to come and pick me up ( another cab ) and then take me home ( another cab) that's money I dont have
- FlaneuseMember@tisme I'm sorry I've not kept up with your posts. You have huge challenges ahead, which is just shite. I suggest you get in touch with a breast cancer support group in Brisbane North, called Be Uplifted. Have a look at their website :https://www.beuplifted.org.au:smile:
Then contact them directly. They provide practical and some financial support and they're lovely people. - iserbrownMember
