It's not fair that where I choose to live affects my cancer outcomes



I have spent four years travelling between home and the Austin to see my haematologist - a day off work for a twenty minute consult. The local pathology sometimes gets confused by my specialised blood tests and I once had to go three times to give samples because they made mistakes sending the samples for testing. More than once the results haven’t made it to my specialist. If I was in the city it would only be an hour or two and the path would be done correctly.
