On finding out I had cancer, I was overcome by fear on a couple of counts. Firstly the uncertainty of cancer, then how I was going to handle treatment at the Oncology Radiation Centre, and also where was I going to stay and how would I be able to get about whilst in Tamworth as I would not have a vehicle.
On speaking to a friend who had also been faced with these issues, he advised me to contact Shaen at Inala House. On doing so, I was pleasantly surprised by the help I was given.
My accommodation would be at Inala House, where there is a new vehicle to take me to every treatment appointment and returned back to Inala House. Furthermore, on my arrival I had the pleasure of having the first ride. Shaen and the other volunteers were very caring, giving you all the support you needed.
The use of the vehicle really helped me, and how wonderful it was that the funds for the purchase were raised by the community participating in Dry July in the same area where other patients undergoing treatment lived.
