Rachel have your tried contacting the Mater Hospital in Newcastle I had my treatment there and during that time I stayed on my own at their lodge I had lost my husband to cancer 14 months before and I found the support their marvellous. When he passed away I never thought I would cope but then I found out I had a tumor myself and almost gave up hope. I have moved on since then it took a lot to do by giving uo my job, selling my house and moving close to my daughter. Without her I don't know what would have happened. I now feel a lot my settled and even started to life my life again mainly due to the support and advice I was given while staying at the Mater. Hope this will be of some help. Jenny
