Hi Aussie Girl,

I was treated in Townsville in both the private and public systems - I like to be unusual! I had nothing but fantastic assistance and care with everything - my baby was born early and ended up in NICU for a while too on life support so I really was 'observed' well. I had just relocated from Sydney when diagnosed and to be honest was grateful to not be stuck in traffic going to my many appointments and also no car parking fees!

I cannot believe the care that lady received it beggars belief!

Cheers

Jenny
