So for people with cancer or someone who has had cancer would know you dont get much off our government. . . a once off $300 payment that you cant use on medical bills! yelp thats it! Plus in order to then allow someone in your family for carers pension etc you have to literally fill out a mountain of paperwork which also requires the oncologists signature to prove you did in fact have the cehmotherapy and did in fact travel to brisbane, pay for accomodation etc.
So I finished chemo last September and we take the forms to my oncologist last October, travel the 3 hours and pay for the appointment. It is now march 2010 and I have rang several times to chase these forms. 2 months ago they were still in the bottom of his intray, last time i rang they could be lost! So today i'd had enough and i just rang the director of the hospital who is now finally following it up so that we can get some money back and use for future treatment!
