Finding ways to support my Indonesian fiancé - I’m a fast learner.
Hello everyone, I’m looking for some guidance and help. I’m still learning the terms. My fiancé and I met earlier this year online. We were planning on an engagement and first time to meet in person mid-May in Indonesia where she lives. I am in Australia, a citizen by birth. we’re both in our mid-30s. Three days ago we were diagnosed with breast cancer, after urging her to get a mammogram for ongoing breast pain and a reduction in size in one breast. The doctor didn’t perform a biopsy to send a sample of her lump to pathology, they just told her she has it. Her church community have told her to fly to Singapore to get an accurate diagnosis and treatment. I don’t know where to start; I’ve been following the literature from BCNA on taking it one day at a time, not to use ‘Dr. Google’,and to let her take the lead in the kind of help she wants from me, but also to educate her on medical truths that are simply not taught to people there. I wish I could fly her to Australia to receive the help we have access to here, perhaps I can but I don’t know where to start looking. Can anyone relate?
