Heike,

sorry to hear what you and your family are going through. I'm from Melbourne so I understand our private and public health systems. Is your husband being looked after at the cancer centre at Royal Adelaide Hospital? I'm surprised they have him travelling all around the place for different treatments. Combined chemotherapy and radiotherapy treatments are usually performed at the same hospital. As part of treatments patients are given access to social workers, therapists, counsellors, dieticians etc.

One place for support and counselling is the Cancer Care Centre in SA. My understanding is they provide services for cancer patients and their families. Their contact number is (08) 8272 2411.

Hope this helps.

Karen
