Imagine you are diagnosed with a cancer that's so uncommon that even your doctor is uncertain of the pathway you need to take. You are isolated in your illness and you turn to investigating yourself online. Is it right that because your cancer is rare, that you should receive less support? When you have a rare cancer the treatment options are often more complex, and alongside complexity comes expense.
Rare Cancers Australia is a pillar of support for more than 40,000 Australians facing their own rare cancer experience right now. Cathy Slattery from Rare Cancers Australia talks openly about the challenges and differences that people with a rare or less common cancer encounter every day - from uncertainty in their health pathway, to the inequities in government support.
