Living in rural and remote Australia presents a number of additional challenges to women with breast cancer. These may include greater distances to specialists and treatment centres, limited access to local medical and support services, separation from family and friends, perhaps a reduced support network, work and livelihood issues and, in some cases, limited telephone and internet services. We hope that the information here is useful to you.
