@tisme What kmakm said. There IS transport available through the ambulance.

Call the hospital and ask if they have a service. You won't be the only person who has transport issues. K xox

going in for lumpectomy 20th march. a week before daughters birthday.  ozcare told me that they can provide transport to the local hospital and home again but only for those over age 65.  they can help with transport to Northlakes for treatment if I need it .  damn govt talk about age discrimination. 

One foot in front of the other @tisme, one day at a time. You'll get there. K xox

see the surgeon tomorrow , worried sick that I wont be able to  get to treatment  and back  was in a heck of a state at 4am this morning , got the Mental Health people doing a home visit tomorrow if I can get back home after my visit to the surgeon im so tired 

@tisme It sounds as though you're in a very challenging situation. It must be awful, on top of your BC diagnosis. I wish you strength in dealing with it.

cant eat or sleep apart from it all more and more crap keeps happening.  we have been on the govt dental waiting list 6 years and was told yesterday that it would be next year before our name came up daughter went to a private dentist for a look , two dentists say 6 fillings and a root canal are needed, that will take every cent ive saved.  this neighbourhood is turning nasty. I reversed out of our driveway yesterday and saw a dead rat  wen we came home that rat was on our drive way so it had been put there I dont know why  I tried to be friendly when we moved here but was ignored the neighbourhood kids wont leave us alone using our front yard as a bmx track and the fence as a climbing frame I cant take any more 

caboolture hospital as far as I have been told  the breast cancer nurse knows I have no transport and was hoping to get the social worker to sit in on Thursdays consult with the surgeon 

Put absolutely everything in your application, @tisme.  In fact, if you can access any help for the application, that would be a good idea.  Once you get over active treatment (and @flaneuase idea about a social worker is a good one), then will be time to get assistance in sorting out a long term plan so that you can always be sure there is a fallback position for you and your daughter whenever it's needed.

@tisme It is indeed very unfair. None of us wanted it. It will be a rough road ahead for you and you'll need to dig deep within yourself to find the strength to cope. But an hour at a time, a day at a time. Which hospital will you be going to? I think you really need to ask them to assign you a social worker to help work out the support you need. Take care.
